DH and I are seriously considering a long weekend away for our 9th anniversary in October. His parents have agreed to watch our kids. In October, our kids will be 7, 4 1/2 & 2. We've never done more than 1 night away.
We've been talking about going to Vegas for this trip. We've never been and we've always wanted to go. BUT...now that we're planning another WDW trip for April of 2005, I'm thinking we should do a couple-only trip to the World for October. Our last 2 trips down, I dreamed about us going on whatever rides we wanted, eating quiet meals, going to DTD, etc...just having some freedom in WDW!! It's always such a compromise. We even brought his parents last trip but we didn't get one night alone!!! FIL got sick and then 2 of my kids got sick so it just didn't happen. I spent part of my anniversary night watching fireworks on the Poly beach ALONE...DH in the room watching baseball with a pukey kid, his parents enjoying the fireworks on Main Street...ugh!!!
Anyway, he won't even consider going to WDW without the kids. Says he'd feel too guilty.
So...for those that have done it, do you feel guilt the entire time? Do your kids get over it? I mean, we are taking them back next April. Or should we go to Vegas and enjoy something new? Any and all feedback appreciated!!
