Mum and I live close to each other and see and or talk to each other regularly, but other than a couple camping trips we have not gone on a trip together since 1979. A long time ago.

I have had three road trips with my mil, she is not an easy traveling companion. :(

Dh and my Mum went on a road trip to Las Vegas last year and had a blast. Dh and my Mum get along really really well. I am so happy that they have such a good healthy relationship.

So next week dh, Mum and I are heading to Vegas for 4 nights. I am so looking forward to spending time with Mum.

There will not be any time to check out fabric stores, we plan to spend all our time on the Strip or Freemont. Zip line here I come...

Have a wonderful time!

I loved spending time with my mom and am happy I had opportunities after I'd left home to travel with her and then later spend time visiting frequently for hours at a time. It was a gift I treasure.

Sounds wonderful. I was blessed to go on a trip to Italy with my mom a few years ago. The crowds of people were huge and we held hands so we would not get separated. My mom is easy to travel with, I hope we can go on another trip again. Have fun. By the way I live 150 miles to the south of Las Vegas

Only one more sleep! Well not even a proper sleep, we have to leave at 3:00 am Thursday morning to get to the airport 90 minutes ahead of time.

But the good thing about leaving so early is that we get almost a full day in Vegas to enjoy tomorrow.

awesome!! Have a great time.

My Mom and I take an annual "girls weekend" ... Thursday through Monday ... later summer / early fall. It is a great shopping, talking, relaxing time away from our men and a great chance to reconnect. Although we get to see each other every week, it is still fun to have the solo time together. She's my best friend and I value our special times together.
