What are you doing this Labor Day Weekend?

Your Triangle, NC Staycation!

Do you want to have a relaxing vacation, but don’t want to spend the time or the money heading out of town? Look no further than your own backyard... literally! Staying in your hometown during a summer vacation, or a “staycation” doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, it can be downright fun.

Looking for things to do while on your staycation? There are many things to do in the Triangle NC. Here is a week in the life of a staycation. Of course, feel free to change it up and make it your own but most of all, have a blast!
