Vacation
by Joe on Jul.03, 2009, under Stuff
There’s a term I’ve been hearing lately. Staycation. This is when you take a vacation, but you stay at home. “Stay at home” + “Vacation” = “Staycation”. It’s like Brangelina (Brad Pitt + Angelina *drool* Jolie) or Speidi (pronounced spidey for Heidi *idiot* Montag and Spencer *douchenozzle idiot* Pratt).
Well, I’m going on vacation soon and I’m wondering if there’s a word for the middle area between a vacation and a staycation. We’re not going to Spain or Australia (who would want to right now anyway? It’s Winter over there!), and we’re not exactly staying home. Instead, we’re going to chillax (relax + chill) with our friends (married couple) at their Summer cottage for nine days.
If two, or more, guys were to go to Vegas together (no homo), they should call it a bro-cation.
Do you think gay people go on gaycation together?
When Sarah kicks me out of the house and forces me to hang out with friends (so I can let loose and get out of dad-mode or husband-mode, and yes, she really does this), I’m going to start calling it a daycation.
I’m not even going to touch laycation. You can draw your own conclusions there.
If I ever watch Transformers 1 & 2, Armageddon, The Rock and Bad Boys all in one day, that’ll be a Baycation.
And if I ever hang out with Henry Winkler (the Fonz), I’m going to tell everyone that I’m on ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyycation.

Welcome to whatever this is.
Think of this as a work in progress. I sometimes find myself wanting to say things that I can't/won't post on my IrrationalDad blog. I strive to keep that as much of a "Daddy Blog" as possible. It's been great, and I love it, but it limits what I post. This is my solution. Thanks for dropping by!

Staycations are definitely the way to go, Joe. My trick is to leave the house so it still feels like I “went somewhere”.

How did I not know this Non-dad section existed!??! What the hell is wrong with me? No, you don’t need to answer that. I hate all those blended words–they make my skin crawl. I’m sure I’ll use them eventually, but I will fight it to the bitter end.
