We took a vacation

June 7th, 2013 at 12:54 pm

Just this past Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We visited a state park, about 35 miles north of our house. It was our first family vacation since 2009. Part of the reason it has been so long is finances, but a bigger part is that we now have two boys with special needs, and we haven't felt comfortable taking them away on vacation until now.

We stayed in a cabin at the camp grounds, $80 per night. It was at the very end of the camp ground, so lots of privacy. We took our bikes, and bike trailer for the boys, and biked a lot. DW did some massive grocery shopping, and had meals all planned out. The girls had lot of fun, the boys limited their melt downs, and mom and dad were exhausted by the end. It was great.

    I'm so glad you were able to get away. It is amazing what a simple vacation and time away from home can do to renew our spirits. Our vacation will be a road trip along the Mississippi for just four or five nights. We are looking forward to it.

    It takes a lot of planning to have a few days of camping fun. I hope you had terrific weather, DW had fun in spite of the challenges of preparing meals and clean-up. It's terrific to give your DKs different experiences like cabin living and enjoying the countryside.

    That's true, it does take a LOT of planning to camp for just a few days; basically the same amount of planning and prep as it does to go awya for 2 weeks, IMO. Glad you were able to do it. Sounds like the perfect set-up
