Neologism 7: Staycation

A staycation is a result of the economic recession that has been tormenting our nation. As one might infer from the linguistic-makeup of he word, a staycation is a finance-friendly vacation in which families stay in their home town; enjoying the local attractions of the area in which they live. Not only are these vacations cost-effective, but they also create memories that may cause their children not to move off to foreign states or countries. Although this last idea is probably true, I have not heard of any parents that have used staycations to manipulate their children's memories for selfish reasons.
