The start of fall is only 4 weekends away. While we’re excited for the bonfires, football games, change in leaves and upcoming holiday traditions, we’re still sad to see summer go. We will miss the warm sun, pool activities, and most importantly vacations. With many of schools back in session, squeezing in that last vacation might prove very difficult. So instead of going away for a weekend, why don’t you stay and participate in a staycation in a city you already know and love.
Cincinnati Magazine’s author, Katherine Braden, has provided us with the Top 5 Staycation Ideas. Braden offers a range of activities depending on what you would like to focus on during the weekend. See the shortened list of itineraries below.
