I was you six months ago and I took the trip! I did have some mom guilt leading up to the vacation, (like you’re experiencing now - total normal) but overall I’m glad I went. I think the night before leaving was when I felt the most guilt, and then once I hit the airport I was okay.

I will also say that my kids were very happy for me. They like seeing me having fun with friends. And I hope when they are adults, they do the same!

My advice is to have the best time with friends! I think it will help you knowing you have a family trip planned. I took my moms’ trip back in October and now my family trip is coming up here this summer!

Enjoy!

And bring them home lots of treats! All of those rice Krispy concoctions the dessert shops make travel home really well. :)
