"Staycation"

This summer was the first time I heard the term "staycation." I loved it because it perfectly describes what I do for most of my vacations: stay home. Sure, I went to Hungary this summer and last summer Matt and I had an actual week vacation in Eastern Oregon, but mostly I'm at home working on projects during my time off.

However, now all the local tourism people are trying to take the term and morph it to one that means "vacationing in the state you live in." That's not what it means. If they are successful and this becomes the definition of staycation, I may never get another vacation again.
