We used to pack up and go often but it's just not as easy. I wish we had a family vacation home we could go too, seriously something in the future when the kids are older I would like to look into if it's financially possible. A lake house or something to just get away but have a lot of stuff there so it's not as big of a "thing" to pick up and go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024907 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:01:50 +0000 Cole 2024907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was easier when we were on the east coast, now I feel like everything takes too long to get to or is more like day trip distance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024870 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:35:40 +0000 illumina 2024870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO?

We're trying to plan a weekend away for my 30th this march but everything I pick is soooo expensive. For the same price as a weekend in Napa we could do a week in Cuba/Mexico </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024850 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:21:54 +0000 hilsy85 2024850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a house in the Catskills so we go away for the wknd about twice a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024847 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:14:40 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2024847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to go 3-4 times a year. I don't really buy a lot of "stuff" but I really need those breaks.

Usually Maui and Kauai </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024703 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:59:13 +0000 Sapphiresun 2024703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost never. Both our families live about 4 hours away from us in opposite directions so typically if we're doing a weekend trip it's to visit our parents. We got every 4-6 weeks for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024689 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:37:20 +0000 alohaorchid 2024689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually around once a month, sometimes more frequently if we have something to go to. We usually go to the BC mountains </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024683 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:30:36 +0000 youboots 2024683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Often. We are going to central Oregon soon. It helps my family has a house at the coast. It also helps M gets to bank the hotel points when he travels for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024678 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:26:37 +0000 autumnlove 2024678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024645 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 22:47:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2024645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the summer, at least once a month (with the kids) to our family's beach house. Nothing other than that! We've never been away by ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024558 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:57:20 +0000 BananaPancakes 2024558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like once a month. We go to the beach a lot during the warmer months (which is most of the year in FL), and go to Orlando often for theme parks. We also regularly stay at my husband's family lake house and river house.</p> <p>I don't think its worth it to drive more than 3 hours for just a couple of nights, so we typically stay within that range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024549 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:51:20 +0000 sunny 2024549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost never!

We live in Northern MI which is a vacation destination for many, so we do lots of staycations and get out and enjoy what's in our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024424 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:09:48 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2024424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only done it once for only one night since our son was born 13 months ago. We went to a cute town about an hour away and had a casual dinner and relaxing night. We really should do it more often because it was so good for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024412 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:06:04 +0000 PurplePumps 2024412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much never except to visit family a few hours drive away.

But I've had fun in the Poconos too. In the Catskills, we like staying near Hunter/Windham and Camelbak in the Poconos. We find houses on HomeAway and we've always had a good experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-take-weekend-getaways#post-2024270 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:11:43 +0000 mrsjyw 2024270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go up north a few times a year w ds.
