DH is taking the kids to visit some family for 4-5 days in another state.

This has never happened before, what do I do during this time?

You do what you want!!!

I would do the following:
- clean the house (takes me 2 hours and I don't mind because I enjoy the peace) so I can enjoy the cleanest and calmest environment for a few days
- stock up on food I like and want to eat
- make plans for dinner/lunch with friends
- talk a long walk every morning knowing I don't have to drive anyone anywhere
- work the way I want (my work is super flexible so I might want to work less to have more time to myself or I might want to work more to not worry about working late...not sure)
- watch a LOT of tv (last time this happened I streamed a whole series just carrying my ipad around the house doing stuff)

I'm a homebody so I love when this happens.

Same except I don't like TV, but I'd listen to music while doing some things that I never get to like organizing projects.

My hubby has taken the kids to see his family without me before but unfortunately it didn't work it this year.

I don't think there's anything wrong with her staying home. Plus traveling with Dad will be exciting.

Definitely clean the house and enjoy a clean house for a few days (so rarely stays clean with young children)

Eat what you want and when you want

I would probably make plans with girlfriends, watch at least one chick-flick, maybe get a mani-pedi and maybe a massage, and just relax

That stupid extra time we get when our husbands take the kids! You are not alone if you wish you hadn’t any!

Who cares why she isn't going.

Last time this happened (a couple years ago) I worked on a longstanding project related to my hobby. I sketched out my goals for the project carefully and dedicated a couple hours a day to working on it. Absolutely no regrets about how I spent such a rare opportunity!
