As we get closer to the end of March, many Abt customers and families might be in the midst of spring break or preparing for its arrival. Spring break is a reprieve for many, as most children have school off and the weather finally takes a turn for the best. The sun is out and the flowers are blooming. That’s why so many use spring break to travel with family. But what if you’re spending spring break at home? How can one make the week feel like a vacation without ever leaving town? Keep reading to see our staycation ideas so you can start planning the greatest spring break ever.
Take The Scenic Route
Stay Healthy with the Fitbit Versa 4 or Explore Outdoors with the Magnum Metro S
Exercise can sometimes seem unappealing when it means you have to spend time in a dull public gym. But with spring break comes with warmer temperatures, so why not stay fit in a prettier environment? The first of our staycation ideas is to begin your overdue health journey outdoors. Stroll through your local nature center while the sun warms your skin. Go for a jog in the park and enjoy the breeze. You can even invest in an electric bike like the model above and take a ride around the neighborhood. No matter what outdoor activity you choose, you’re guaranteed to break a sweat, all while getting a boost of serotonin and vitamin D. Getting healthy is not just about crafting the perfect workout routine, though. It’s also about taking care of your mind and your body, eating good food, getting quality sleep and so much more. If you’re goal-oriented and enjoy tracking your own progress, strapping on a smartwatch like the pink one above is a fantastic idea. Most wearable technology these days can take on the hard work for you by monitoring all of these stats.
Host The Best Backyard Picnic
Bake a Slice with the Coyote DUOMO or Grill Up a Feast with the Weber Master-Touch
For those who love to cook or host, perhaps your staycation ideas revolve around entertaining guests. Maybe you want to take advantage of the good weather and serve dinner outside. Then what you need is a powerful outdoor kitchen appliance (and it doesn’t hurt that our recommendations are stylish as well). One of the most classic backyard cooking options is a charcoal grill, like the pastel green Weber model above. A grill like this one is great for a spring break hang, as it’s lightweight and comes with wheels so you can roll it around the cookout and relocate it as needed. Want to make an even bigger statement or cook something unique? Then an outdoor pizza oven could be the best investment for you. Capture the essence of your favorite local pizzeria without leaving home and satisfy your cravings with a cheesy slice. Whether you make an Italian pie or a juicy cheeseburger, your friends are bound to enjoy every bite. Plus, the bright finishes of these appliances just scream spring.
Make Memories With Friends
Capture the Moment with the Nikon D7500 or Warm Up with the Solo Stove Yukon 2.0
The last of our staycation ideas can easily be paired with the cookout above or done on its own: a bonfire. Do you love a good backyard fire but don’t want to deal with building it? Sometimes, getting that first flame to spark takes longer than the bonfire itself! Skip the process with a stainless steel fire pit like our newest model above. Solo Stove’s fire pits are known for providing a warm, toasty fire with almost zero smoke, so you can breathe easier and leave with zero odor on your clothing. Feel free to roast hot dogs or marshmallows, or tell spooky stories once the sun goes down. You may be looking at the digital camera above and wondering where photography comes into play. Why not take these memories you’re making by the Solo Stove and capture them? Snap shots of your friends and families around the fire and share them for all to enjoy. You’ll have plenty of visual memories to look at and reminisce about once spring break comes to an end. Plus, this specific Nikon model offers stunning image quality on a budget, as well as an outdoor-friendly build that’s dust- and water-resistant.
