[quote=eastcoastmom]-Many years when we could not figure out logistics we did 1-2 night hotel staycations which were wonderful. Have a leisurely dinner, watch a show, luxury hotel but close enough that there was no stress if issue came up.
-as kids got older, we did a few 4 night trips (not every year, maybe once every 2-3 years). We always had a babysitter come who knew the kids schedule and would do all meals, drive to activities, and do dinner and bath. This made it much more manageable but was expensive so didn't do it often.
-elementary school years we would go once a year to a place with a great kids club in the Caribbean. We would often coordinate this trip with another family so all the kids knew each other. Every afternoon we would have some solo time which was great.
-We had 2 summers when kids were teens that they were both away at the same time for sleepaway camps and programs and we took advantage of that.
-Now we have one in high school and one entering college and I miss having us all together given their busy schedules.

I will also say that there was a period in our marriage with a lot of work travel when we really stopped prioritizing date nights, even short get aways, etc. and our marriage really suffered for it. Looking back it is something I would budget and plan for. It doesn't have to be a big trip but make your relationship a priority.[/quote]
