San Diego is a wonderful place to spend some time. We haven't been in awhile, but used to go fairly often when our son and family lived there. We were only 3 hours away when we lived in Yuma, and it was a great place to spend the day and get out of the AZ heat! <br /><br />I think not only couples with younger families but also those of us "empty nesters," need to get away from the everyday "to do's." Glad you had such a great time!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-85715877436259526402013-05-03T10:11:59.889-06:002013-05-03T10:11:59.889-06:00Congratulations on 26 years!

I am so glad we are close enough both geographically and emotionally, that we get to babysit often so that they can do just that. They are on year 13 and I like to think we helped! ~Kc Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00709391347762297764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-10488893865136370302013-05-03T04:12:04.087-06:002013-05-03T04:12:04.087-06:00LOL, look at that room!

Yes, it's important for them to see a good husband/wife relationship.

They are such smart, talented performers.<br />I agree whole-heartedly with couples taking time for themselves.

Every now and then, my boyfriend and I go away just the two of us, and it is always so relaxing and adds stories and memories to our relationship. I think the kids get a bit jealous, but we always share the pictures with them and take trips with them too. It's a good balance.Stained Glass Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990646723410742552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-83192452468693118222013-05-02T06:36:13.169-06:002013-05-02T06:36:13.169-06:00What a fun sounding trip!
