Maybe because after eight years of trucking and never having a home, and then moving every couple of years while Jack consulted all over the country, I\u2019m pretty much a homebody now. So, while even I have my limits as to how much I can stand being a hermit, chained to the house, I often vote for staycation over vacation. That\u2019s not to say that we haven\u2019t been out a bit in the past several years of living in the great American Northwest. We\u2019ve been to Yellowstone and Seattle, and along the Columbia Gorge. I plan to see Glacier National Park this spring\u2026maybe on our way to Alaska!!! But for the most part, I\u2019m happy puttering in my own kitchen, sitting on my own couch, and sleeping in my own bed.<\/p>\n![\"Yellowstone](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nomadauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Depositphotos_77438850_s-2019_Yellowstone.jpg?resize=192%2C128&ssl=1\")

timeshare. You can go to the restored area when the spirit moves you, and you can relax and nap the rest of the time. \ud83d\ude09 There are some great restaurants in Williamsburg (and lots of good pancake houses!), so it\u2019s a wonderful place to experience history, to golf, to explore the coast, and to recharge<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
