Staycation in Fort Fun


Many of you lucky ducks get to look forward to time off of work and/or school next week.  While the luckiest of ducks are preparing to hop in the old minivan, drive 20 hours south and stretch out on a beach, the rest will be spending their hard-fought vacation in Fort Fun, a.k.a. Fort Wayne.  You too can enjoy your spring break even if spending it at home.  Keep reading for some ideas to plan a fun-filled staycation at home.

A staycation is the perfect time to justify spending some money on local entertainment.  Maybe you wouldn't normally shell out $20 for an afternoon at the bowling alley, but think of all the money you are saving instead of hauling off to Florida!  What are your plans for spring break?
