The Stay-Cation

Editor's Note: Did you see Cassandra's call for Vacation Submissions over at Coco Kelley? Here's my entry!

Vacation is a state of mind. Here's how to do it in your own backyard.

Put on something that makes you feel gorgeous.



Grab a great book.

Your favorite sun hat.

A stylish pair of shades.


A stripey blanket too.


Pack a picnic lunch of cold chicken, potato salad, strawberries, and Champagne in a pretty basket.


(Real glasses are a nice touch for the Champagne!)

Load up your bike and head to the park, well before the music begins. Get a good spot on the grass. (Hopefully you've mastered the art of cycling in a gauzy dress!)

There you have it. Instant Happy.
