"Vacationing" with children

Last weekend, we went to Galena, IL with some good friends of ours. We had our two kids, and their 4 kids... all ages 5 and under. After reaching a point of extreme frustration with our husbands, my friend and I realized the problem. Vacationing with kids is no vacation for us moms. It's our lives... just in a different location. We still had to wake up, take care of the kids, cook, clean, do laundry... how was this relaxing?

So next time I think we're going to bring a babysitter. If we plan on relaxing, anyways. :)

We did get two good hours to relax and not be "Mama". We went to the delightful Galena Beads, and got to each make bracelets. We had wine and chocolate, and had a wonderful time. I think I may have a new hobby!
