Stay

hile it's generally agreed that the word
"staycation" first became widely used during
the financial crisis of 2007-2010, the idea for
taking a staycation evolved much earlier. People
traded travel vacations for staycations during
the Great Recession, when the savings of many
Americans took a big hit, unemployment was
at 10 percent and economic confidence was at
ground level. But, according to some historians,
the idea for taking a staycation was touted during

World War II, when gas was rationed and many
common items were in short supply. During that
time, it was considered patriotic to stay close to
home, tend to your Victory Garden and conserve
fuel. And, while today it's great to get away and
gain new insights and experiences, many of us
consider a staycation in Greater Reading to be
anything but a hardship. We asked some of our
readers to tell us about their favorite staycation
activities. Here's what they told us.

One of our absolute favorite "staycations" which is only
35 minutes up the road is Bear Creek Mountain Resort.
All year long we enjoy going to the resort for great
dining, fun festivals (for example there is an Artisan
Festival coming up soon), spa packages and,
of course, skiing!

Crowne Plaza Reading of course! We have an amazing
back patio and pool area. Great food, bar and dancing
at GoodNites Lounge. Book a room for the weekend.

We also make an annual trek to Hershey. It's just always
fun to go there, and smell the chocolate.
We've stayed at the campground, the Lodge, and the
Hotel, and they all have their great qualities. Of course,
there's Hersheypark, but we also enjoy the concerts,
the Outlets, the Museum, the restaurants.
