The Family Vacation

One day while Phillip was up in his room playing with his toy trucks, his father walked in. He looked very
serious. “Hey, Big Guy,” said Dad, as he sat on his bed. “I’ve got some bad news for you. Do you think
you can handle it?” “Yeah, I can handle it,” said Phillip. “What is it?” “We aren’t going to the beach this
year,” said Dad. “Why not?” asked Phillip. “Since I lost my job, we just don’t have enough money for
extra things,” said Dad. Phillip could tell that his father was really sad about not being able to take the
family to the beach. “It’s okay, Dad,” said Phillip. “I didn’t really want to go anyway.” “Liar,” said Dad, as
he playfully hit Phillip on the head with a pillow. Phillip and his father had a quick pillow fight. Then his
father went out for his afternoon run. After Phillip’s father left the room, Phillip sat on the bed and
thought. He thought about how much he was going to miss going to the beach. He would miss staying
in a fancy hotel for a whole week, building sand castles, and playing in the beautiful green water.
“There has to be something I can do about this,” thought Phillip. Phillip thought for a minute, and then
he had a great idea. He remembered his friend Emily and her family had taken a staycation. Emily and
her family had found a lot of fun things to do, right in the town of Summerville. Phillip ran down the
stairs excitedly. He interrupted his mother, who was sitting at the table paying bills.
“Mom, I’ve got a great idea!” exclaimed Phillip. “Well, tell me,” said Mom looking up from her laptop
computer. “What is your great idea?” “We should take a staycation,” said Phillip. “What in the world is
a staycation?” asked Mom. “A staycation is when you take a vacation in your own city or town,”
explained Phillip. “My friend Emily and her family took one a few weeks ago. They did a bunch of cool
things, right here in Summerville. They went to the children’s museum, the park, and whole lot of
other fun places.” “Well,” said Mom. “That sounds like a great idea. We can start planning it right
now.”
For the next several hours, Phillip and his Mom used the internet to plan their family staycation. They
planned a fun week full of hiking, biking, swimming and much, much more. After they finished planning
their staycation, Phillip gave his mother a big hug. “This is going to be the best staycation ever,” said
Phillip. “I can’t wait to tell Dad.”
