When my husband and I met we had each been married and divorced and each of us had children. I had two, he had one. It was a rare occasion for us to have a dinner out alone, or a weekend to ourselves. Once we were married and had children together, it became even more difficult. Thanks to our 14 year old daughters Godparents, we actually had an overnight at a hotel in Seattle. Dinner, drinks, a nice night with just the two of us. That was 15 years ago and was our one and only get away without the kids. You read that right, 15 years. It doesn't help that hubby was Navy and stationed thousands of miles away from home - neither of us had any family around. Hence, 15 years.
Tomorrow, our last two 'babies' are headed to a one week sleep away summer camp! We have them all packed and ready to go and our RV is already ensconced at our favourite local park. The hubby has started a huge project at work and could not get the time off so I figured there was no point in me wasting MY holiday time, so we will both be working all week. But at the end of the day we will be happily sitting by a bonfire, eating a grilled dinner, and enjoying some long awaited 'us' time.
I sure hope it isn't another 15 years before we get a vacation together alone.
Happy Camping!
Jaye
