This is such a neat idea. Anyone who is mechanically inclined could build one of these. Great way to get some energy at an off-grid homestead.

Vacation At Home

 

You can have fun around your hometown. You do not need to spend a ton of money to go somewhere for vacation. Here are some ideas for you to do at home to have a special vacation.

1. Cook A Special Meal - Have a whole meal, like a Thanksgiving meal in June. Fancy it up. Or light up the grill and have a dinner party out in the backyard. 

2. Have a Movie Night - or a whole day. Pick a movie series and watch it. Like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, etc. Pop up some popcorn and have some fun. 

3. Look for local things to do - Do you have a local bowling alley? Do you have a mini golf course? Have any local festivals? My town is always having FREE things going on. Friday movies in the park, art festivals, farmer's market, waterfall hikes, and so on. Check out your local facebook groups and see what is going on in your area. 

4. Go camping in your backyard - Set up the tent and go camping. Really fun to do and you get to use your own bathroom. 

5. Have a game day - Get out the board and card games! Make some snacks and play some games. UNO, Monopoly, Life, and so on! Doesn't matter what you play it is always fun.

6. Do a large puzzle - Grab a large puzzle that the whole family can work on. Puzzles really bring people together , I think. Some of the best talks I've had with my mom, grandma, and kids have been while working on puzzles.
