Wanna Get Away?

If you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post, I’ll probably earn a few bucks from it. We aren’t talking enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine. And if I mention a product, I probably got a sample and possibly a cash payment. Remember that all Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings are 100% my own and may not represent your experience.

What mother hasn't felt this way? With the past week (broken laptop (aff), couldn't find flu shots for my kids, now Will's sick), I definitely would love to get away just for a weekend.  When Country Inn & Suites by Carlson asked if I'd like a woman's weekend retreat, how could I say no?

Next weekend, I'll be heading to a local Country Inn & Suites by Carlson for a night.  My goal is get away from it all — work, reviews, the internet (though I am going to bring the laptop (aff) with since I can't completely walk away from my internet addiction), my blackberry, etc.  Due to my many obligations, I often forget to take care of me.  This is a great way to relax and enjoy myself.  My game plan is to head to a movie, eat a nice dinner (and not have to inhale my food or bring crayons), and maybe even get some shopping in!

If you could get away, where would you go?  What would you do?
