Now now, you know we are only allowed to think it would be nice to drop the kids off. I can't understand why you might want a lovely, quiet, relaxing vacation. It has been a while but every parent knows just what you are saying, just a bit of time to recharge your batteries would be nice, wouldn't it?
We live in the very same world. just a few miles apart. Where are you going on vacation, and where do you live? Hope you don't have hours in the car - that is always painful.
