Read through, and comment (at the end of this, I describe how to enter my
scrapbooking raffle)
Shall we choose to be selfish parents, and use the money this summer... for a vegas trip on the two of us? Or should we do as we usually do, even after buying them a pool, and spend the money on more family style events?
Here is what is happening... Sean and I will celebrate our 15th anniversary on July 16th. We have 4 days and 3 nights to toy with. Here are the options...
1. Camping in our trailer, at the coast where we have already been several times before, but it would be by ourselves. (Maybe get kinds boring, just the two of us!) (Oh, and we both said this)
2. Hotel at the beach instead... a little more $$, but maybe a little something more than camping in our trailer (Even though we love our trailer, it seems like a family thing while we still have kiddos)
3. Trip to Vegas (never been, haven't traveled together, other than a softball tournament and disneyland a few years ago) $700+ (hoping state taxes return, for added spending money) This might mean, not so much $$ for family camping this year, but our schedules are hard to book that together now anyways. We are already paid for 5 days over labor camping, btw.
4. Wild Waves in Seattle, its a waterpark and theme park, rebuilt since we went over 12 years ago. We used to go often, when we dated. We might stay the night, or though about a day trip and then take a day (maybe over night) to the coast.
UGH... I just can't decide. We have my sil set up to babysit and dog-sit. I think I am having a hard time deciding to do something just for us, and feeling bad that the kids "suffer". Though I really do know that my kids are not SUFFERING. LOL
Maybe I should ask Jordan (our 14 yr old). He is getting a bit smarter now that he is making me feel old by going off to high school next year. :)
Anyone else have an opinion? Post a comment and enter for my scrapbooking give-a-way raffle. The winner will tell me their favorite layout color, and I will get a surprise freebie package sent out, just for offering to help me decide. The winner will be chosen... sometimes Tuesday evening!
Gotta have my Coca-Cola!!

OK, if you wanna enter the drawing you have to type your comment here... but texting me on the side is always welcome too! (I am not upset at you that did that). LOL
Well, I think camping as a couple, without kids is very romantic. Rany and I did that before Cory was born. Huh, we should do it again, we really had a great time. :)
Vegas is fun but crowded and spendy. Peronally, I'd rather camp and have the peace and quiet to spend time together. :)
Oh, as far as it getting boring........this is a perfect time to re-connect with eachother. It's very important to talk and keep things alive.
Randy and I need to do more of it.
What happens when the kids grow up and are off on their own?
