Staycations with Energizer & Giveaway!

Many of us are skipping a bigger vacation this summer and opting for staying at home for a staycation this year. Just because you are at home doesn't mean you should skip being a shutterbug like you would on any other vacation.

How about making a trip to the zoo your own mini-safari and you and the kids all take pictures of the wild animals - dress the part even and everyone wear your khakis!

Be tourists in your own city and where those crazy tourists clothes and visit the landmarks in your area. You could even pretend to be from some other city when folks ask you where you are from. Try to see your city through the eyes of someone who has never been there before.

Even if you stay in your own backyard you can have a tropical vacation. If you are lucky enough to have a large pool it's even better, but if not get yourself a blowup kiddie pool. You can get a few bags of sand for your beach area, drink fruity drinks with little umbrellas, find some recipes for tropical food, and don't forget the big beach hats!

Whatever you do make sure to take pictures of your family having fun and of all the sties you see. Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries can help you keep your cameras up and running and lasting longer through your entire journey even. The Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries last up to 8x longer in digital cameras and weigh 1/3 less than standard alkaline batteries. Plus along with National Geographic they are having a photo contest until June 30. You could win a trip for 2 to the Galapagos Islands or other great prizes.
