For the last few years, my husband and I have embarked on childless road trips–good for all involved, we believe. We always miss her, and we wonder whether the girl should have come along, but we talk frequently on the phone and she has plenty to fill her days at home. I explain it as summer camp for mom and dad. There will be a family vaca later. We are on one now, and it is perfect for reconnecting at the basic level of man/woman–when we met, and before the responsibilities of a family, home, job, pets, etc. took precedence. Very nurturing–even though we always have at least one huge fight–and great to remind us how it all began–with a man and a woman, a woman and a man (really, we were more like a boy and a girl, but that isn’t how Peter Gabriel sings it).

We’ll be kidless for 8 days coming this Saturday. We are looking forward to watching all the movies that are inappropriate for our girl, eating at restaurants that she doesn’t like, and gasp! having some quality “alone” time that aren’t quickies.

We had a few days of this a couple weeks ago and it was quite great!
