Or hop on a bike and go exploring.<\/p>\n Treat yourself to a meal at that five-star restaurant you've been wanting to try, or visit a place where you regularly eat and sample something from the menu you've never had before. If you normally don't spring for dessert, go ahead and indulge this time — vacation calories don't count.<\/p>\n Say "no" to what's on your to-do list for the day — cleaning, errands, whatever it may be. Instead, relax by the pool with a good beach read or spend a few hours curled up on the couch binge-watching your favorite shows on Netflix. The idea is just to take a break from your hectic routine and enjoy the simplicity of your surroundings.<\/p>\n Yes, you can create a spa-like experience in your spacious apartment home. Cover your furniture with plush blankets and light some candles. Add to the ambiance and enjoy some rejuvenating aromatherapy by diffusing your favorite essential oils.<\/p>\n Take this time to do something that's a bit off-the-grid for you, like watching a 3-D movie or going kayaking. Try your hand at learning a new skill by taking a cooking or fitness class. <\/p>\n Our Dallas, TX apartments<\/a><\/a> are an inviting place to enjoy a staycation.
