More than a year in lockdown, you probably miss going out and traveling with your family. Although quarantine restrictions are easing up, there is still a need to be prudent in our choice of activities to stay healthy and avoid exposure to the virus. 

Fortunately, it is possible to recreate the best parts of being away at home. You can mindfully refresh a weekend or two as you take your family on vacation indoors. This is one of the perks of having a spacious home. And a house and lot for sale in Laguna is a great safe space to ride out these trying times while still creating precious memories with your loved ones.

So, here are some ideas on how you can take your family on vacation at home.

Go on a virtual trip

We do not need to take a plane or go on a long road trip to see the world. Instead, reserve a day for a virtual trip and put your children in charge of planning. Allow them to choose a tourist spot or a city to research. Then, help them replicate the touring experience of the chosen destination at home by watching a virtual tour on TV. Enrich the experience further with the help of food and decor.

For example, if they want to virtually explore Japan, you may play a YouTube video of a tour on the big screen. Whip up Japanese food on a decorated table just like in the restaurant. 

But, if you do not have enough time to cook food, you may order takeout in the nearby food chain. Living in Laguna, you can enjoy unlimited access to top restaurants offering different cuisines. The big malls and leisure hubs of Alabang like Filinvest City is just around a 20-minute ride away from Laguna. If your favorite restaurant is in the metro or in Tagaytay, do not fret. Laguna is excellently connected via the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).

South Peak Entrance in San Pedro, Laguna

One highly accessible community is South Peak in San Pedro, Laguna. Located just 10 minutes from Alabang’s commercial center via the SLEx-San Pedro Exit, this low-density community lets you enjoy the best in modern highland living and being in convenient proximity to malls, top-notch schools, churches, and other lifestyle essentials. This superb location also allows the community to be internet-ready, equipped with reliable telecommunications services which connect you online 24/7.

Another great thing about South Peak is its scenic views. Here, you can have front-row seats to spectacular views of Laguna de Bay and the mountains of Makiling and Banahaw every single day. The refreshing amenities amidst verdant environs, like a swimming pool, children’s playground, and basketball court, are readily available for its residents. These features and views can be a vacation on their own – in the comfort of your home.

Hold an exhibition

A great way to bring the museum experience into your home is by holding an exhibit of your children’s artwork. Hang their art on the wall and label each piece with a title. You can throw in some of your pieces there too! Then, have the rest of the family stroll the gallery. Share your thoughts, insights, and most of all, some laughs. 

If there is a family-friendly musical you would like to introduce your children to, you can also “attend” in the comfort of your living room. Dress up. Serve your favorite fancy snacks and drinks. Immerse yourselves in culture. And most importantly, turn off your phones.

Transform your backyard

There is a sense of wonder in theme parks that you cannot find elsewhere. But for younger kids, you can replicate this experience by having them watch a walking tour and ride-through videos of Disney World. 

If you have a backyard, you can transform it into a water park. Simply bring out your water blasters and inflatable pools. You can even make your own waterslide. Whacking out some water balloons is a fun game too! Of course, do not forget the snacks.

Another residential community that allows you to own a lot for sale in Laguna is Southwind. With its expansive lot cuts set amidst the refreshing environs of San Pedro, you can build a home with an ample backyard to suit your family’s playful lifestyle.
