My husband and I absolutely love to go on getaways a few times a year.
We have found that it does wonders not only for our personal lives but for our marriage as well. It is so nice to be able to relax and not have to worry about work or the general stress of life. We usually get away about two times per year, but we wish that we could even more often. A few years back, we bought a cabin so that we would always have a place to go on our getaways. It is a small but cute cabin, and we really like it. The only thing that we wish we would have considered before buying it is the fact that it doesn’t have air conditioning. We wish so badly that we would have bought a cabin with air conditioning, but we have to make do with what we have. We bring two window units, and we put one air conditioner in the living room window and one air conditioner in the kitchen window. Sadly, the bedrooms do not have windows in them, so it gets quite warm in them. We actually find ourselves sleeping in the living room more often than not. It is just so much cooler in there since there is an air conditioner right in the room. My husband is seriously considering adding one or two windows to each bedroom so that we can put air conditioners in the bedrooms as well as have some natural light in them. I really hope that he ends up doing it because I would love to sleep in an air-conditioned bedroom in our cabin.
