At home/travel work out ideas you've tried and liked

I visit my parents pretty often for being about 4 hours away, about once a month or so I take a trip home. When it's a weekend trip I only end up missing my work out for one or two days but I'm going to visit them from Saturday through Tuesday this time. I don't want to miss four days in a row and on top of that, I should figure out something to do over the holidays when I will visit for an extended period of time again.

What do other people like to do to get a work out in that doesn't involve the gym? We have no equipment at home but it's not outrageously priced, I'd be willing to make an investment in something that wouldn't take up much room while being stored (this is my parent's house after all, they don't need my stuff all over the place). Normally I lift 3 days a week (max weight I can lift 8-12 reps for 3 sets), Cardio 2 days, and Yoga/Pilates 1 day, in case that helps with ideas of what I'm looking to do. Thanks in advance!
