A ‘Staycation’ Can Be Fun

March 21, 2016 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment


This past weekend we rented our home again on Airbnb. It’s crazy how much we have been renting for events like birthdays, family reunions, etc.  We are all getting ready to leave the country for a while so we thought we would stay local for the weekend.  I had actually won a weekend stay at the O’Callaghan Hotel in Annapolis at a charity auction, so we thought why not do a ‘staycation’ and stay there.

My daughter ended up being quite sick so I called the hotel and asked for an early check-in – the receptionist was VERY kind and accommodating to get us right in.  We spent much of the day relaxing in the room and napping.  The staff is very helpful.  I ordered room service in and had delicious soup and salad.

Later on my husband joined us and took over child duty while I went a few blocks to meet friends for happy hour at Ram’s Head on West Street (one of favorite places).

On Saturday we each took turns in the gym on the cardio equipment – it’s not a huge gym but has a couple of suitable cardio options.  For dinner, we walked a block to India’s – my husband’s favorite place for Indian food (the fresh naan and tikka masala are incredible).   Then we hung out in the bar area and met some people while our daughter sat by the fire watching a movie.

It was a REALLY nice weekend – even though my daughter was sick – thanks to the O’Callaghan Hotel and great places on West Street.  So next time you want a little getaway, you might not have to go very far to have fun.
