I wish you a joyous, relaxing vacation. I hear you about stress, daily life, kids, etc. all taking their toll.
If I had one wish for you in JA (or on any vacation) for you it would be to NOT look for what things used to be like. You have both changed. Life has changed you and your relationship.
Rather, look for what you now can love and appreciate that you may not see in daily life. Our annual vacations mean slowing down, taking walks, and talking. Yes, we do these all year, but......It just is not the same. I try every vacation to find something new that I appreciate/love about hubby. We have been together for 10 years, so we have been through A LOT of changes - including some really stressful stuff (death of a child).
By finding something new to love, it is like rediscovering him all over again.
Good luck, and enjoy the vacation.
