Who's up for a staycation? Hanging at home is the perfect way to end out the summer. You already did the beaches, the ball games, the waterparks, and the traffic. It can be exhausting, especially the traffic. So why not dedicate your last long weekend of the summer to a little rest and relaxation right in your very own backyard. As you bid adieu to the dog days of summer, sleep in, stay home and manage your #FOMO with these home based activities.

Drink Up
