Vacation

I was just reading an article in my Woman's Day magazine about vacations.  More specifically, women going on vacation.  The only vacation I've ever taken was my honeymoon.  We went on a western caribbean cruise, with Carnival Cruises.  It was amazing!  My husband and I had such a good time.  There was so much to do on the ship and the off shore excursions were fantastic.  We ended every night, with the same group of people, at the piano bar.  It was a blast!  Anyway, back to the article, it suggested that it was good for a woman to take some time away from her family and daily responsibilities.  While this idea sounds good in theory, I honestly don't know if I'd be able to do it!  Lauryn is two and a half now and I've never spent a single night away from her.  I know someday it will happen but I'm just not ready for it right now.  Not to mention, as much as I'd love to go on another cruise, I most certainly couldn't be away from her that long!  Lloyd and I will probably do it again but it will be when she is a little bit older.  As for getting away with a couple of girlfriends, maybe an overnighter or a weekend would be a better place to start.  I know that I could use it and I'm pretty sure some of my close friends could too!  It's definitely something to think about and I'd have to plan for.
