I tend to forget how important it is to give myself some time to relax and unwind.   The past year has been particularly hectic -- I moved twice, now have two dogs (Sky and Luna) to care for, and of course, C and I have completely different work schedules.  So when we decided on a staycation at the Dream Downtown this past Sunday, it was one of our best decisions yet.  We packed an overnight bag, left the dogs with friends, and checked into our suite early so we could spend a quiet afternoon on the west side with no real plans.  The staycation was a much needed departure from all the noise and a way for us to spend some quality time together, clearing our minds before yet another long week.  We explored new shops, took an afternoon nap (a rarity in my book), got dressed up for a romantic dinner, and then returned to the hotel to spend the rest of the evening sipping on wine, munching on room service snacks, and watching the season finale of The Walking Dead.  It was the perfect little slumber party that we wish would never end. 

Our first staycation but certainly not our last.  So if you find yourself in need of a mini staycation to clear your mind of clutter, just pack a bag and go. You won't regret it.
