staycationed

Relaxed at home

Staycationed is the past tense of staycation, meaning to take a vacation at home or nearby rather than traveling.

The term blends "stay" and "vacation," describing time off work spent locally—relaxing at home, exploring one's own city, or taking day trips: We staycationed last summer and finally visited all the local museums.
