Any ideas?

I finally realized I want outta here..... When my brain just can't take another thing it's being asked to: comprehend, give permission for, request juice service (or any other motherly service), figure out where we were in the the daily lesson plans when we were so rudely interrupted???, I have realized I need a break. Not just a night off, an afternoon to household shop in my own, where I stress about not spending too much. A real break. There's no vacation this year, so? I told Carey he has to take me away for our anniversary. Abbey will be 13 (yes a teenager) this Saturday, so our 14 year anniversary is in April. Believe it or not, we have never gone away alone together since our honeymoon. So my question is, where should we go? I'm thinking Lancaster, PA. But know nothing about where to stay or what we'd be doing. I'd love somewhere along the Chesapeak, MD (spell much?) , you know something nautical. Maybe Norfolk, VA? We'd like to brouse nautical antiques, but? Any ideas or recommendations would be great.

Oh, and we'll have great childcare. I'll even be able to relax. All the girls will stay together with our dear friends Debbie, Nils, Kirsten & Laura. They stayed there one night last year when we went on a youth leader training conference. They all did great there, and have been asking to go back. Nothing like being loved and spoiled by them. Thanks guys we love you so, and you are an incredible blessing to our life. I know I couldn't cope without you.

Why don't you go back to Chincoteague? It's quiet and you have all the seafood you care to eat! And it's not too far away.

I highly recommend New Hope, PA. Shasta and I went there for our first anniversary. It's a very artsy little town that is just across the line from Jersey and only about 90 mins from NYC if you wanna go into the City for the day.

Cape May, New Jersey is an awesome ocean town. You might even see a whale. It would be great for you to get away and I can't believe it's been 14 years!!!!
