So what’s a daycation? It’s a one-day getaway to a local destination that offers the same perks of a vacation without the expense, time off from work, and other hassles that go into vacation planning. You get a chance to get out of the house, see your local area, and have some fun with friends or family. It also gives you a chance to explore new places or visit old favorites.
One of my favorite nutrition bars, SOYJOY, was kind enough to sponsor me and my kids on a daycation to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. After renewing our membership, we explored the Real Pirates exhibit, visited Expedition Health and took in an IMAX movie, Mysteries of the Great Lakes 2D.
We brought our own snacks in a cooler bag including the new pineapple SOYJOY bars, and took a break in the museum’s north atrium between activities. We had such a great time that we’re going back this weekend to see all the things we missed. Thanks SOYJOY for such a great time!!
