Vacationing without the kids

Dear Parents,

My husband and I recently enjoyed a vacation without the kids.  Our children are 18 and 14, the eldest leaving for college in a few weeks, and the youngest starting high school. The time away was refreshing.  We combined business and pleasure, traveling with a group of people who are working on expanding their businesses through internet, marketing and media education and expansion.

In my work with parents I will often talk about the importance of nurturing yourself.  I really experienced this on this trip.  The time for expanding our horizons through travel and meeting interesting people was invaluable.  Spending time as a couple, vs. as a family was really refreshing and enjoyable.  I highly recommend an annual vacation as a couple, even if it is just for a short time, like an extended weekend.  Most Important lesson for parents... Nurture Yourself!!

To Your Family,
