How To Make a Staycation in Your Anaheim Apartments Fun

Just because you cannot take a vacation doesn’t mean you and your family can’t have some fun this spring. Your city is probably booming with great activities to try, so instead of moping around, try planning a staycation. Here are a few ideas for making a staycation in your Anaheim apartment’s fun.

 

 

Include the kids: the first step to making a staycation fun is to include your entire family in the planning process. Let your kids give their input on things they might want to do while on break.

 

 

Do it yourself: try planning a few fun activates to do in your apartment. It can save you money and be a bonding experience with your family. Try camping out in your patio or making a drive-in theater in the parking lot.

 

 

Socialize: throw a cocktail party and invite friends over to socialize. Doing anything alone can be boring, so invite some friend over to help make your staycation more enjoyable.

Easy Father’s Day Gifts To Make Any Dad Happy

Father’s Day is right around the corner and if you are stumped about what to get dad for his special day, skip the ties and “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mug and get him something he really wants this year. Here are a few great ideas to try.

Netflix or Hulu subscriptions: we are living in the “Golden Age” of television, so why not get dad a subscription for a month or two so he can finally put his tablet to good use?

 

SlingTV: speaking of great TV, you can now steam live television for $20 bucks a month on SlingTV. You can get over 20 channels, which is great for those dads who are on the go and never get to watch the game or the latest episode of Modern family.
