Traveling without your kids might seem cruel, but it’s not! In fact, it’s a total necessity. You need time for yourself, and, most importantly, you need to keep the romance alive in your relationship, don’t you? Don’t let diapers, messes and chaos get between you and romance. Leaving the kids at home with your parents is key in not only maintaining your sanity, but to also feeling like you again, rather than just “Mom”.
You’ve been a super parent all year round, and so, the kids can handle a weekend (or week) without you. The only thing you need to do is make sure you can make it that long without them. That’s why when you choose a vacation, you need it to be such a new adventure that the only thoughts on your mind are “this place is incredible!” That’s why adventures into the great outdoors are perfect for getting away from your hectic schedule and busy life. The wilderness is nothing like your home; nothing like your job, or the kids’ school and afterschool activities.
It’s time to reconnect with nature! Where better to do that than where you have your choice of stunning mountains, sprawling valleys, and spa getaways all in one?
Can’t guess the destination? You might not have heard of it, but the top travel destination for your getaway should be Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Winter Activities in Jackson
Skiing is the biggest ticket seller for coming in the winter. The skiing in Jackson Hole has been ranked #1 for years. You can also go for romantic sleigh rides, or try out dog sledding. You can strap on some snow shoes and go on for a walk amongst the crisp, white snow. When you’re done for the day you can go back and snuggle up next to a fire and enjoy a few romantic meals.
Summer Activities in Jackson
One of the best ways to view the mountains and the valley is to take the tram. It offers 360º views of the beautiful landscape and will take you to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. From there you can go on your choice of a hike. Some reach altitudes over 10,000 feet! At that point, some people experience altitude sickness. If you’re up to the challenge, you are guaranteed some of the best views in the world.
Experience Luxury
At the end of the day, after you’ve hiked, or skied, or done any of the numerous outdoor adventures, what better way to end the day than at the hands of luxury? Choose a great location that offers you spa services so you can end the day right, and finally remember what it’s like to be completely pampered.
The goal of your outdoor getaway is to take you out of your “at home” mentality. Do something different. See something unique and new and stunning and feel like yourself again, rather than just “Mom”. You need a vacation without your children because you need to celebrate who you are, and your life, and your relationship. Your children will still love you and need you when you return.
So, get out there!
