I would staycation a lot more but bringing up a number of children, who fortunately have daily lives that closely resemble the description of activities in the article, generally requires some adventure to relieve them from the mundaneness of hanging at home or around the hood. Going somewhere serene and quiet, and staying put there is my first choice. But finding and getting to and from these places, especially during school holidays, takes some effort and planning. Last summer we drove for 8 hours to a camp spot (not unusual for families to do here in Australia).
