Can you help the Blondes plan an affordable getaway for early April?
My husband, Blondesjon, and I haven’t had a getaway without children since our honeymoon almost 28 years ago. We desperately need an escape and we can finally afford one. He’s working nearly 70 hours a week right now and it’s making our home life stressful.
Our anniversary is April 4. It’s a Saturday. We’d like to plan our escape during this time. We are thinking 5 days minimum and our budget needs to stay under $1000.
If we drive it would be north and it can’t be too far from southern Wisconsin. A spot on Lake Superior would be ideal. We love the north woods and a hot tub.
We are willing to fly. I have a wild hair to visit a friend in Scotland but I don’t know if our budget would allow it. We’ve never traveled abroad.
Cruises, Mexico, Vegas and touristy locations are not what we are looking for.
Any suggestions?
