A Major Daycation Giveaway From SOYJOY

By 941 Comments

Boy do I have a good way to start your Monday morning!

***GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED…THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!***

So if you’ve been following STSL for the past couple months, then it’s no secret that I have been busy, busy, BUSY. I’ve traveled to Baltimore, the Outer Banks, Virginia Beach and Wildwood. But when I haven’t been away, then Jay and I have been busy playing softball, celebrating birthdays, holidays, bridal showers, and spending time with friends.

No doubt, my social calendar has been full, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. But you know that saying, “I need a vacation from my vacation”?

Well, that’s exactly what Jay and I needed this weekend, so thanks to SOYJOY, we had some fun enjoying our own little “Daycation.” In case you’re curious, a daycation is a one-day getaway to a local destination that offers you the same perks of a vacation without the expense, time-off from work and other hassles that go into planning. So why not have one poolside, right?

Remember those killer sunglasses from yesterday? Well, they were courtesy of SOYJOY…along with some other pretty awesome swag to help us enjoy our Daycation even more.

Since most people would typically enjoy their Daycation on the road, SOYJOY’s package included some seriously fun activities that can be used in the car.

But I said, hey, why not use them by the pool?

Jay made good use of the dri-fit t-shirt while taking care of some pool maintenance.

And I made sure to put our float to good use while snacking on a SOYJOY bar. Winking smile

Included in our SOYJOY package was also this phenomenal cooler, which I packed up with some poolside snacks, including a couple of the new pineapple-flavored SOYJOY bars.

IMG_5894IMG_5896

The new pineapple-flavored SOYJOY bar was really good. The flavor was great, and I’m really looking forward to trying it crumbled up in either a pineapple or plain Chobani. Deeeelish!

IMG_5897

Throughout the afternoon, Jay and I had a few good laughs while floating on our floats and asking each other various “Would You Rather…” questions from our kit. I’ll tell ya, sometimes, the answers can lead to some pretty amusing and interesting discussions!

We also had a great time testing out our new camera…

IMG_5916

YES, a new camera! My amazing SOYJOY Daycation package included an Olympus 14MP digital camera. Jay is totally psyched because now he’ll actually have a camera to use too…since you know, I sorta hog our other one.

IMG_5915

NOW…I hope you don’t think that I would make you sit through all of this bragging about my new goods without giving a something in return…DID YOU?

C’mon, we’re closer than that. Winking smile

  2. I'd probably go on a road trip up to Central California (I live just south of LA) and I'd bring one of my good friends who's pretty much the perfect travel buddy. There's a couple beaches we want to check out and we've talked about renting an ATV to drive on the beach.
    Reply

  4. If I could take a daycation kit, I would go to the west side of Michigan. The lake is so beautiful and I feel fortunate to be able to drive there in just over two hours. It really feels like a vacation! I would take the hubs, Henry, a picnic an of course my bathing suit to enjoy the water. Yay, Soyjoy!
    Reply

  10. I'm in a desperate need of a vacation and because of our conflicting schedules, a day trip is really our only option. I'd pack up the car crazy early and head to the nearest beach (not even sure where that is since I refuse to swim in lakes... MA or CT somewhere? haha)
    Reply

  12. I would take a Daycation with my roomies to a beach in Rhode Island to get some sun and play in the sand!
    Reply

  20. I would go to Virginia Beach - it is about an hour and a half drive. I would take my boyfriend, and if I had a dog I would take it too (I REALLY want a dog)! I would try and see all the "tourist" things and enjoy my visit. The last time we went, we did all organized and non-special events! :)
    Reply

  22. Daycation trip? Since I am in the Orlando area, I would probably go to a pool and lounge around...OR make my way over to the coast for a day at the beach with my boyfriend. There would have to be water of some sort because it is h-o-t hot here!
    Reply

  23. I would take my husband over to Columbus, Ohio for the day. I'd want to go shopping in Easton (an awesome outdoors shopping area), walk around the OSU campus a little, and have a nice dinner in downtown Columbus. :)

  26. If I were to win the package, I would totally bring this along with me to Craig's surprise birthday trip that we are taking in the beginning of September!!

The banana one is really good too.

  43. I would love to enter! I know that in Central Florida, a lot of people would daycation at Disney, but I'd much rather head north for a day trip and explore St Augustine! I've been twice but there's so much to see - I'd love to go on a ghost tour, stay in a historic hotel and see the fountain of youth!
    Reply

  45. If I won the daycation I would definitely take it with my boyfriend. Were doing the long distance college thing again in a few weeks so spending time with him is my top priority right now. There is an awesome park down from our town that has an amazing view, definitely a good spot :]

    Reply

  62. Since we go to the local beach 3-4 times a week I would bring a picnic to the Fort Ticonderoga. I am local but it is always nice to go tour the fort and they have a great spot for picnics. The kit would also come in handy on our road trip this summer. We are planning on heading to NC so it would be perfect for the car ride!
    Reply

  65. Our stay-cation will be a drive to Annapolis! We would use the shades, the cooler...well, everything :) yay summer!

    Reply

  111. OOOOHH How fun! I would go to Block Island, RI. I've only been once and I've lived here my entire life! That prize pack would be perfect for a day spent lounging on the beach! The would you rather questions could keep me and friends entertained while we ride the ferry from the main land to the island!

    Reply

  120. If I were to take a daycation, my finace and I would go to Lake George for the day and just hang out on the beach! We have done this in the past and it is always fun! Then of course we would have to stop at Martha's Dandee Creme b/c no daycation is complete without ending with some ice cream!
    Reply

  128. If I could do a daycation, I'd either go up to the lake for the day or go a bit further north to Sedona, play around in Oak Creek (try to get away from these 110+ days we're having). Either way, I'd don my bathing suit and get some sun and water.
    Reply

  129. On my daycation, I would take my husband and puppy to the park, for a full day of relaxing and picnicing. Great giveaway!
    Reply

  133. I would want to take my sister to the beach in Cape Cod, since I live in NYC and she lives in Boston, and we rarely get to see each other! She is my best friend, and we are super silly, so we'd definitely get a kick out of all of those games in the daycation package!
    Reply

  137. oh my gooodness this is awesome! :) i would take my boyfriend to Denver for a full day of walking around, shopping, eating good food and maybe a Rockies game

  138. Between wedding planning, full time school and a part time job, my fiance and I could totally use a daycation! I think we would go to the zoo and then spend the afternoon at the pool!
    Reply

  139. Like yourself Courtney I have been on the move ALL summer- jersey shore, san diego, san francisco, philadelphia, etc etc. So if I had a daycation I would stay right in my HOME of New York City. I would wake up to an amazing breakfast (best way to start the day!) of overnight oats in a peanut butter jar (obviously) and a large coffee. Then I would spend the day biking in Central Park with my number one man. We love being active together and we would enjoy biking together in the sun. Of course we'd have to stop for lunch with the picnic that we packed! After spending the whole day outside in the sun we would end the day eating at a seafood resturant somewhere on the river- ordering fish and of course a cold glass of chardonnay! We would have to end the "daycation" at sixteen handles- a frozen yogurt place with 16 different flavors and unlimited toppings...... including my favorite- raw cookie dough! Sounds like this day is already on my agenda for this Saturday :-)
    Reply

  146. I think it would be fun just to explore the city to places that I have never been for part of the day and then also relax at home or at the park. I wish we had a pool like you!
    Reply

  148. I think I'd use the daycation package to go to the beach with friends! Like you I'm busy with travel and my social calendar is out of control so a beach day sounds perfect!
    Reply

  149. I would go to the lake at my parents house with my daughter and some friends. There is nothing better than having a relaxing day surrounded by good people.
    Reply

  150. Oh fun! Looks like a great way to spend a day recovering from your vacations. :) Can I do my Daycation at your pool? Haha. Kidding. I'd prob head over to my friends house and get them on it a bit. They need a break and I like their pool. We'd have to share the sun glasses though. It's ok. We're good at sharing.
    Reply

  157. I don't know why I bother entering because I never win things like this...but I still love you and want to support you so here we go. LOL I would probably go on a hike or to Chatanooga because its not too far from Atlanta and we've been dying to go with Makenzie. :)
    Reply

  158. Daycations sound so fun and realistic- especially for those who want to get away but save some money! I am from Kentucky and would love to take a little daycation to somewhere in Tennessee! It's so beautiful down there and there are some great areas to kind of get away from the city. I'd definitely bring along my mom of a friend, and plenty of snacks and goodies! If we could go somewhere in the mountains, lots of outdoor clothes and a camera to take awesome pics!!
    Reply

  162. My husband and I just had our first baby. If I won the package, I would probably use it for the three of us to get out of the house a little. We live on Lake Erie, so the beach would probably be a lot of fun with the package. Thanks for the opportunity!
    Reply

  165. This would actually be perfect for me because my husband and I are finally taking our honeymoon (married in Oct 2010) next month which is a road trip! We're heading up to Canada- Montreal and then Nova Scotia where we'll be kayaking and staying in a cottage on the water. Sunblock, camera, healthy snacks- yes, please!!
    Reply

  166. I would take this daycation giveaway to Devil's Lake on my next day-trip with family! I would go to the nature conservancy and document the waterfalls, bridges, butterflies, etc. This daycation kit may also come with me to various internship opportunities/interviews!
    Reply

  168. For my daycation, I'd have to say that a day trip to the mountains in NC would be a total blast/treat!! I've only driven through en route to other destinations, and would love to hike a bit, take pictures, eat some GREAT NC BBQ, and enjoy the mountain air!!
    Reply

  169. I would go on a road trip with my family to go for a hike! Summer is the only time we are all home together and it would be so nice to play the Would You Rather game in the car like we did when we were younger :) We love to hike so hopefully our final destination would be a beautiful trail and picnic! Im sure the cooler and snacks would be put to great use!

    Reply

  283. I am in desperate need of a vacation, but have been WAY too busy to actually take one, so a DAYCATION sounds like the perfect alternative. We would probably either go to the biggest water park in the Carolinas, Emerald Pointe, about 1.5 hours from us, or head back down to the beach, which we just moved away from! Who moves from the beach on Memorial Day weekend?!
    Reply

  287. Since I just moved to Annapolis recently, I would take my boyfriend down to the harbor area to spend the day people watching, trying out the many ice cream shoppes!, touring the Naval Base, and ending with a picnic (all while wearing the stellar sunglasses, of course!)
    Reply

  290. I would love to win this and I think I would use it as you did, at the pool! My traveling is limited now as I am 36 weeks pregnant, so a daycation at the pool is definitely in order!
    Reply

  294. WOW, what a great package! If I won that, I would use it poolside - I need a vacation from work and home would be the best place to just relaxxxx
    Reply

  298. If I won the Daycation kit, I would bring it to hike Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. My husband and I have been meaning to do this for awhile now, but just haven't gotten around to it because we've been so busy with work, school, parenting, and life in general. The Daycation kit is the perfect motivation to make it happen. I would also bring it on our beach trip next month.
    Reply

  304. I would spend my daycation with some of my best friends on my soccer team at a fun rafting trip! We would picnic, raft on the water, and have an awesome time together, enjoying all of the awesome soy joy products! :)
    Reply

  305. I would take my little brother to the amusement park for the day! I'm always so busy with school 400 miles away so I rarely get to see him, and this is one of the last summers I'll be spending at home before I head off to med school so I'd love to spend some more time with him and be a kid again :)
    Reply

  313. WOW! What a FUN giveaway:) for my 'staycation,' I'd totally head north to ME to spend the day on the beach with my roommates... which would be made easy with the fun cooler!
    Reply

  319. How fun! And super generous! If I won, I would use it for a day trip to the vineyards! I live in western Long Island, and it takes about an hour and a half to get to the eastern part where all of the wineries are located. I'd round up some of my girlfriends (or hubby if he's lucky!) and hit the road - a few stops at the local wineries for tours/tastings, a picnic lunch, and a special dinner before heading back home...

Nothing like mixing up your weekend routine like throwing in a little Daycation! Love your pictures from this adventure!

  441. I would love to go on a Daycation to Palm Springs or the desert. We'd have to leave early early early in the morning (This is where SoyJoy would come in handy for a no-fuss breakfast) to get on the road before it heats up too much! Once in Palms Springs, we'd lather up with some sunscreen, pack some cool drinks, and some snacks before renting a pair of bicycles and hitting the road for a nice long ride. We'd stop along the road, taking pictures of the scenery before heading back to where we'd park. Hopefully (for the sake of our nostrils and those around us) we'd be able to find a shower to get cleaned up before heading out for a late lunch with some FroYo for dessert (hey - we earned a little treat, right)? Fully satisifed with a day full of sun, sweat, and sweet treats, we'd head back home. (Nice thoughts for a Monday morning!)

We'd break for lunch, and talk about all the fun we're having, then go out again. Then on the way home, we'd snack on a few Soyjoys, and talk about the day. Perhaps even end the night at the Drive-In theaters or regualt theaters (with a few Soyjoys hidden in my purse to share ;) ).

  532. I would go just about anywhere - my hubby and I need a much well deserved break - we never got a honeymoon - we got married 7 years ago and went straight on a flight to a job. Now we have a little 4 year old - and we just need some alone time desperately - so I would not be picky - just hanging out with him is the best.

  533. If I had my choice of a daycation it would be to leave Tallahassee, FL for a weekend and hit up a beach. See everyone thinks that every inch of Florida is shoreline but I go to FSU in the capital and the closest beach is like an hour away! Not too mention gas is crazy expensive and if I propose leaving Tallahassee, my mom guilts me into going back home! (hopefully my mom doesn't see that my daycation does not include her :/ ) So I would take my boyfriend and our group of friends and go to a beach and just not worry about college, life, work, for a day. Okay maybe not so much not worry about college but more like not worry about becoming a big girl and reality hitting. I would spend the money on some food for the beach and then definitely a trip to fro-yo place on the way home for dinner. The boys of my group hate when I propose fro-yo for dinner but lets be real, ITS MY DAYACATION AND I WANT IT :)

Second, if I won the Staycation, I would make the three-hour drive up to the Cape (or maybe the shorter drive to Newport, RI) and head to the beach all day with my boyfriend. If we were in Newport, the mansions along the cliffs would be a must. For either destination, ice cream would be a must :)
