When you finally get a chance to take a weekend trip without the kids, you should make sure you pack a few items that will make your vacation special. Get creative, have fun, and bring along a few things that will surprise your man.
Item #1 A Bottle of Bubble Bath

Don’t count on your hotel to supply bubble bath. If you want a romantic bath that involves lots of suds, bring your own bottle. Don’t forget to bring along a few candles to set the mood. Don’t bring too many, though. You don’t want to set off the hotel’s smoke alarm!
Item #2 A Bottle of Bubbly

A couple glasses of champagne will fit your romantic evening perfectly. Having a drink will help you unwind and feel spoiled. Juset make sure that you grab the good stuff, and not the cheap bottles lingering around the drug store’s unvisited aisles. That’s what your weekend trip is all about.
Item #3 Some Risqué Clothes
Bring a lingerie teddie that will blow your man’s mind. Kids can put a real damper on a couple’s sex life. Use this opportunity to show him that you miss those carefree romps just as much as he does.
Item #4 Massage Oil
Whether you use the massage oil for an actual massage, or you just use it to get dirty, you won’t regret bringing along a bottle. Try scented and flavored oils for something extra. They can turn a casual massage into a sensual tryst.
Item #5 Something a Little Kinky
Sexy lingerie is a great starting point, but why not use this weekend trip to explore new ideas. Talk to your man before the trip to get some ideas about what he would like (chances are that he’ll like just about anything). Don’t bring the topic up again. Just surprise him during your first night at the hotel.
Item #6 Surprise Tickets
If you think kids make it difficult to get some time alone in the bedroom, just try getting away to see a play or concert. Get tickets for an event that your kids would never go to. It’s an adult vacation, so you don’t have to think about them.
Item #7 A Sexy Book
A lot of couples like to read sexy books to each other. That doesn’t mean that you have to bring anything that even vaguely resembles pornography. In many cases, the sexiest books just give you good ideas without ever going into graphic details.
Item #8 Semi-formal Outfits
This weekend, you will not dine at McDonald’s. Bring along outfits that you can wear to nice restaurants. That usually means a dress for you and a suit for him. Make sure he brings a tie so he fits the restaurant’s dress code. You don’t want him to wear the tacky one they keep for forgetful types.
If you pack these items, you’re certain to have a great weekend away from the kids. What else would you include to make your weekend even more special?
This is an awesome list. We usually take a bottle of bubbly when we are away from the kiddos. 😉
ok how come my bubble bath never look that awesome and full of bubbles!
Great tips! I’m hoping to get away for at least one night with hubby for baby #3 arrives.
