Just had to let parents in on this probably little known site. I just came across it, because I was off in another of my fantasies, again. It’s one of my favorite fantasies, so I go back to it often for purposes of upkeep and updating.
I love to dream of going places with my two favorite guys.
Lately, I’m dreaming of going back to Harbin Hot Springs, but I know that it would probably bore my 5 year old son, so I have to do a bit better. I have to find something that will allow some relaxation time for myself and the hubby, while keeping our 5 year old son entertained.
I’ve gotten a good start on getting something figured out. The Sonoma Wine Train sounds like a good idea. There’s a seperate and supervised car for the kids, and they get their own dinner, games, and movie, so maybe we’ll do something like that for a get-away, one day soon.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m back on two (in one) of my favorite topics, here: R+R and R+R for the mind. As you’re planning to take a vacation of any sort, you’re actually already beginning a sort of health benefitting process. Happy endorphines get released into your brain and blood stream, and you start to relax, which tells your body that there’s no need to acquire and store more fat around the abs and thighs.
This means that the more time you take planning your trip, and enjoying the planning and anticipation, the healthier you become, even before you pack up to leave home.
The site above, is a great site to look at for ideas on where to look for more ideas on where to go, and who to ask for advice, on where to go, if you need a little help making every member of the family happy, on the same trip.
I’ve seen lots of great advice posted on the Petaluma Mothers Club e-bulletin board, but if you’re in a city other than Petaluma, you should check your own city’s Mothers Club for some great advice, on get-aways, recipes, child rearing, and general support of fellow moms/parents.
Parenting magazines are great resources as well, and can be found everywhere: Doctors offices, store checkstand, etc.
It’s late, and I’m having some trouble being sensible, because of the hour. I lucked out Tonight, and my son is with my folks, so I’m going to have a good sleep, Tonight, which for me, is as exciting a prospect as vacations, these days.
