I have always loved short little getaways...a w/e here, a long weekend there...just to get out of town, travel to see friends, travel WITH friends to some specific destination. Since Ron and I have been together we've done a lot of these because wonder of wonders, he loves to do the same!! As I've gotten older it's been harder to get friends to do this with me, so I'm especially grateful that Ron enjoys these kinds of getaways.
We stay at Airbnbs when we go places, if there's no relative or friend we can stay with. We live in Nashville. We've driven to Huntsville AL to visit some of my extended family, to Sevierville (in the hills of the Smokey Mountains) for a couple days to visit with some of his (they were camping there,) to Atlanta to stay with friends and kayak the white water on the Broad River, and a "staycation" type deal too, where we stayed in Nashville, but stayed at an airbnb just outside of town for a change of pace. A couple longer trips too...to The Florida Keys, and to Upstate NY where he's originally from.
We're heading out again this w/e back to the Smokey Mountains, to Gatlinburg and Dollywood. He has more family who are visiting the resort, so we rented a cabin with his daughters, and we'll all stay there for a couple days and visit with everyone. I'm pretty tired of theme parks, I got to Disneyland AND Disnewworld at least once a year, on vacations with my kids (free kid watching for them lol!!) so I'm pretty over theme parks. But everyone else is going, so we'll go, and maybe bug out after half a day, head back to the cabin and sit in the hot tub and drink some wine.
What about you all? Do you like mini trips?
