We really do live in an awesome place. Summer is basically here and lots of people are planning summer vacations. But maybe you don't have a ton of vacation time, or maybe the expense of a vacation is keeping you at home. Well, here's some great news: the Tampa Bay area was ranked as the 9th best place in the US to take a "staycation" (you know, where you act like a tourist in your own town).
We made the top 10 because we have LOADS of options for summer fun...pools, nightlife, live music, museums, beaches... take a look!

PS-- 52% of Americans have unused vacation days at the end of the year. DON'T BE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE. If you're lucky enough to have an employer who gives you paid vacation days, TAKE THEM. Your mental health and well-being are important! Take your days off!
