that sounds perfect! what a great idea.

We do a weekend away for our anniversary every year. Two nights, no kids, in a hotel, fine dining, swimming, golf, sleeping in, cocktails... and adult time. I think it does wonders for our relationship since it feels spicy like the first time we ever went on a weekend trip as a couple.
Well, IMHO that is taking advantage of family. My opinion is I didnt have kid so we could go out all night and have free sitters. Its not their problem. If I did have involved family I would still feel beyond guilty asking. I just couldnt bring myself to do it. So when we get to go out I hurry through a dinner just to get back. I try to be no longer then 1 hr total. I have never left them with a sitter. That dinner I am talking about my dad took the kids to the Circus. I hurried so we would be at home in time for them to get back.

Hmm... That happens maybe once a year. Its not that we cannot afford it. We can, but we choose not to ditch our kids with people just so we can go out. We didnt have kids for other people to watch them. We dont have family that is a built in sitter and have never let my kids with a sitter.
how do you spend your time the rare occassions your able to get away? i think i have grown used to having family close to us that ask to take our ds (and looking forward to taking our dd) for overnight visits.
