Minivacation For Mom And Dad
Moms and dads need some down time, too! If you want to recharge your batteries, getting away from it all may be just the ticket. You would be surprised how easily a two- day vacation can benefit both you and your husband. A minivacation for mom and dad is just around the corner.
Do you and your husband need to get away? If so, don’t even plan it; just do it. Some of the best vacations are unplanned. Arrange to have someone baby-sit the kids for a weekend. Get out a map, fill up the car with gas, and head out – destination unknown.
The adventure that awaits you is all part and parcel of the entire vacation experience.
Whether you drive to a cozy cabin in the woods or a hotel in a big city – it doesn’t matter. What matters is you are getting away from the house, the kids, the problems, and going somewhere where you can be alone, just the two of you. Call it a minihoneymoon if you like.
Let’s face it. We all need different surroundings every once in a while. It rejuvenates, energizes, and gives you perspective. Getting in the car and driving to a place you’ve never been is exciting. Perhaps you just need to spend a few nights in a hotel, or maybe you’ve always wanted to go to a casino, or perhaps a small quaint town is preferable.
Whatever you choose, you have the freedom to go wherever you like. Ah, freedom!
When you arrive at your destination, you’ll be pampered; not have to worry about phone calls or interruptions, have breakfast in bed, relax, and just be with each other. Talk about things other than family, laugh, have fun, pretend you have both run away and revel in the fact no one knows where you are.
Rosalind Russell used to say, “Live, live, life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!” Take her suggestion and live it up. It can make all the difference in the world.
