[quote=Anonymous]Well I usually don’t vacation with DH alone but I don’t think I am better than anyone who does, lol. 
To each his own and everyone should do what they enjoy. For whatever reason I have set my limit at one weekend away per year.  I have gone to out of town weddings with DH at least 2x, a wknd away for DH’s 40th bday, a bachelorette party, college reunions, and girls / moms weekends.

I did try to travel before kids, I do try to be a little adventurous in travel with them, and I do plan to travel more when they leave the house. My grandfather passed away when my mom was in college, and after he died my grandmother never remarried but traveled the WORLD.   I like to think I caught the travel bug from her.

I love family vacations - and it’s what I grew up doing including beach vacations with my whole extended family.  DH and I both work (I work 20-30 hours a week), and I feel like our family vacations are a way I like to disconnect from work & other obligations, & connect and spend time with my family.  I hope when my kids are adults I can pay for a big beach house for a one week vacation with them all over the summer too. Sometimes on a beach vacation with my family now, DH and I will ask my parents to watch the kids & grab one fancy dinner out or whatever.

Travel with kids isn’t always but it is one my hobbies / favorite things to do, so we did it anyway, learned from our mistakes, and it continues to improve. I would say I enjoy it :)

This all being said if my 3 kids end up at sleepaway camp at the same time I would go on a trip with DH. Not gonna happen any time soon yet. [/quote]
