I love to travel and do so frequently. Sometimes I take the kids with me and other times I'll take a short trip with my mom or to meet with my out of town friends. In this photo, I took my daughter for a girl trip to the Florida Keys.
I love my children and husband dearly, but, sometimes I just need ME time. You know, time just for Mom to regroup and recharge. As a mom, I know it isn't alway possible to leave town, so I like to explore the internet and dream of destinations. I also like to bring myself back mentally to places I've already visited.
I also think it is so much fun to introduce my children to new places. If we are tight on money and can't go anywhere, we'll have a "getaway" at home. We'll open up a can of sliced pineapples, listen to some Hawaiian music, and look up cool info about Hawaii.
But, sometimes I really want to run away and go on a REAL trip. Does this make me a bad mother? I don't think so. If mama's not happy, nobody's happy. Taking even just a day for myself makes me a better mother.
