How to Plan the Ultimate Family STAYcation

Staycations are becoming increasingly popular. What is a staycation, you ask? It’s staying at home and experiencing a vacation right in your backyard! A staycation is that simple! For nearly six decades, Goodall Pools & Spas has been helping Pennsylvania families with their backyard leisure needs. Here are some tips from the experts on how to plan the ultimate family STAYcation.

A Pool is the Perfect Main Attraction

A swimming pool is essential for your staycation destination. If you are getting started with a new pool, Goodall Pools has in-ground and above-ground pools to choose for your centerpiece. 

This gorgeous gallery of pools will give you several to look at as you make your decision.

Maybe you have had a pool for several years and it needs some upgrades. Goodall Pools also offers pool liners and backyard renovations to help you give your pool a needed update or to modernize it for a brand-new look.

Accessories Provide More Amazement for Your Staycation

There are a few must-haves for the pool area in order to make a staycation successful. Floats and pool noodles are always popular. They can be used for lazy time in the water or for some fun games. 

A fountain is also a great addition for amusement in the pool. Splashing is synonymous with swimming, and a fountain is the perfect place to get the splashing in. 

Finishing a staycation day with a night swim is also a great idea. LED lights make wonderful pool accessories and there is a diverse variety to choose from. 

Always Prepare for Munching All Day

Swimming will make the whole family hungry… all day long. An outdoor kitchen is ideal for a staycation. If that’s not a possibility, keep a cooler of ice-cold drinks in the shade near the pool. Hydration is important, especially with the sun at its hottest. Non-perishable snacks will also come in handy as everyone gets the munchies. 

A grill is another wonderful backyard accessory to have. Grilling your favorite meat to enjoy at the end of the day will make a day of staycation that much better. 

Anticipate Possibilities for Much-Needed Dozing

A staycation will keep everyone busy. Make sure there are plenty of spots for anyone who needs to stop for a little rest. A lounge chair or two on the deck is one popular option — the perfect place to soak up some sun and take a little break or read a book.

Maybe you need a spot that is a little more of a relaxing place to pause and relax. Backyard bliss begins with a spa, and we can help you find one to make your staycation even more memorable. When you get tired and sore from all the swimming, a therapeutic hydromassage is the perfect solution. 

These ideas for how to plan the ultimate family STAYcation will make your house the most popular place to visit this summer. The best part of having a staycation destination in your yard is the fact that you can have as many vacations a year as you want… without going anywhere. Come see us today at one of our five convenient locations to get the items your staycation needs to be unforgettable.
