Several months ago the other mothers and I from Connor's Book Club for Boys planned a weekend getaway. A simple overnight stay with no real plans other than time away without kids or families or responsibilities.
We debated several locations within short driving distance and finally settled on a historic hotel within easy driving distance. It's in a quiet little college town also known for its large collection of craftsmen and galleries. There's no shortage of sights to see, if we're feeling adventurous.
We still have no real plans, other than a few specific places we'd like to eat (that's the most important thing, after all). The weather may curtail some of the exploring we had considered, but I'm certain we can find ways to entertain ourselves and just decompress.
The only disappointing part of the trip is that the founding member of the club had an unexpected life change. A new job opportunity sent them across the country just a few short weeks ago, and she's not able to come. We'll have to take her with us in spirit.
So it's going to be a boys weekend at our house. Hopefully they can stay out of trouble for 36 hours or so!
