Hello all - If you had the opportunity to get out of town (within a few hours drive), where would you go? I have the opportunity to get out of town for a weekend without my husband and the kids (my husband is supportive). I feel like I need some time for myself. Our marriage is fine and kids are great. Just curious as to where you have gone to or where you would like to go to.
For mother's day and my birthday my wonderful hubby bought me 2 nights at a downtown historic hotel and spa. It was wonderful!! I walked to the museums, sat on the patio and had drinks while I read my book, got a few spa treatments, went to bed when I wanted (after eating chips in bed!!!!), and had a fabulous time! Highly recommend it, if you have the chance go for it.
I would go to Michigan. Not too far so if a true emergency came up I could get home quickly. But far enough to be away. I would be able to walk along the beach with out worrying about where my 4 yr old is or if the others went out too far. I wanted to explore the shops in St Joe and South Haven when we went on vacation the last 2 yrs but really hard to do with kids in tow (and last year I was pregnant).
I would be happy to have just a few hours. I barely get a few minutes.
I call it a "Me-Cation" and I would book a great resort, do some shopping, reading, lounging by the pool. Take a walk. Go to a yoga class. I would go to a really nice dinner and bring some magazines to read while I wait for my meal. Might see a movie....oh while lounging at the pool - call some girl friends from college that I haven't talked to in forever and catch up with them.
Lucky you. I fantasized about that a few weeks ago. I don't really have any main issues but I feel like I just need time to myself. I would go to a beach and just relax. Get up when you want, go to bed when you want, eat when you want...I would love that!
Have fun and enjoy!
I'm jealous! I would leave a couple times a year and visit my parents (AZ) or my friends (OH) . I haven't done that in several years. I need a trip...
Go for it! Sometimes you just need to recharge your batteries. I always felt better when I came back from my mini-vacations! Why not go to the beach? I love the sound of waves.
I got together with girlfriends and rented a cabin in the woods a few years ago. We had a great time!
This place was recommended to me by a friend. I still haven't tried it yet myself but she loved it. She gave a $20 donation to them for a one day trip (no overnight stay). It is the Well of Mercy in Hamptonville, NC. You can check it out on the web.
Enjoy your rest and relaxation!
cant help ya there, for some reason you post isnt showing this to only moms in your area :)
YES! My best friend and I are trying to plan a weekend away, but cannot coordinate a weekend that works for both of us. She lives in FL and I'm in KS, so we're trying to figure out when and where. At this point we just want to get away!
i need company so my answer would be anything with friends or cousins for the weekend
I would probably just find a hotel somewhere and hole up in the room. Take some snack stuff and lots of books (my Kindle). I could be really happy for a couple of days. As a matter of fact I asked for that for my birthday / anniversary gift a couple of years ago. Didn't get it but really wanted it ! Same with you - no problems anywhere - just need to recharge myself.
