We are crossing the midway point of what many consider the summer vacation season. Though many families are not able to take the grand vacations they may have in the past, they are still looking for and finding ways to have a good time and relax this summer. The new book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Backyard Adventures, explores the many staycation options that families have in their very own hometown. The book is aimed at providing families with “close to home activities for fun-focused families” looking to find ways to save money, learn and entertain all age groups within their families.

The book includes ideas like planning an insect, rock or plant safari near your home or at a nearby park; connecting with neighbors; backyard camping and learning new sports. The book is authored by Nancy Worrell and sells for $12.95.
