Where's the Best Place for a 'Staycation' in Somerville?

Vacations can be tiring. They often involve early morning travel, tedious planning, long hours in a car with bickering kids, heavy meals and non-stop exposure to friends and family who, as much as you love them, can get on your nerves.

That's why people sometimes take mini vacations and stay at home—the so-called "staycation."

During staycations you want to take it easy and slow down. You want to be lazy.

If you were to take a staycation in Somerville, or if you've actually done so, where would you go?

That's the subject of this week's question. We thought about places where people could relax, get away from the day-to-day grind and bring the kids.

Take a look at the options below and then vote in our poll and leave comments and reviews. All will be taken into consideration when we determine the best spot for a staycation in Somerville.

Because this week's topic is broad and subjective, there are, no doubt, great Somerville staycation places not listed. If you see something that's missing, send an email to chris.orchard@patch.com, and we'll add it as soon as possible.
