[quote=Anonymous]We rented a cabin on a huge gorgeous property with a creek running through it. This was between Christmas and New Years. It was about 2.5 hours away, and the kids complained on the drive it was too far away. But once we got there: they LOST THEIR MINDS with excitement. We went to the beach last summer, but it had been over 4 months since we'd really left out house. It wasn't really a vacation, because we had to plan all our meals (and still cook them!), brought everything we needed to avoid going to any stores etc. We did get pizza one night from a nearby place that delivered. But the fresh space, new outside areas to explore, was all SO awesome for our family. We came back feeling really happy and refreshed. One morning all the puddles by the creek had frozen over night, so instead of mud it was ice. My 4 year old spent over and hour cracking the ice in his boots. So, getting away can be really restorative even if it's not really a "vacation". [/quote]
