husband and I are pondering a night away for this weekend. Nothing fancy just drive a few hours away, stay in a hotel, and eat. Honestly I look at it as a time for us to become "us" again. We have spent so many years as parents dealing with kid drama that we kind of lost time for ourselves. I am now making an effort to spend time with husband without the kids. It's weird but it is almost like we don't know how to talk about anything but them and our house. We "need" time to bond again and talk, cuddle, and just be together.
You go right on with your happy self and visit China! A happy your makes for a healthy you and I am sure that helps with a happy marraige as well.
