With busy schedules, my family is always on the move. My children are teenagers and have all sorts of things going on. One is able to drive, so I know that they would be fine by themselves if we were ever to leave them for a short time. We live in a great area, so affordable weekend getaways romantic enough for us to calm down for a few days, will be no problem. It has become easier to get away now that are children are older, so we have started doing it more and more. I guess it is practice for when we have the house to ourselves again.
