Back to School

Summer is over, and while that may sadden the kids, it means freedom for moms! It’s the perfect time to reward yourselves with a quick weekend or overnight trip, for putting up with sandy, wet bathing suits on the couch, misapplied sunblock, and the endless shuttling back and forth to swimming lessons. We also realize that this time of year can get pretty hectic, which is why we've come up with some stellar (but more mom-friendly) one night local getaway options. We are also offering a $50 coupon for all moms who decide on this shorter getaway. Just type in this coupon code: BTS1008! |
Golightly GetawaysFeatured GetawayLas Vegas Sin GetawayFor the party-girl who needs a good excuse to bust out her sequins, and her bad-girl self. The Vegas getaway allows her, and her girlfriends, to oversleep, overspend, overindulge and just plain overdo everything.Austin Spa Getaway
Austin, Texas is located almost smack-dab in the middle of Texas, and is surrounded by beautiful hill country. Even the phrase "hill country" is relaxing, so you're one step closer to total and utter relaxation, which is what you'll find in our spa weekend. Blissed Out Baby Mama Portland Getaway
We know expectant baby mamas can’t “do” airplane travel too close to their delivery dates, but if you’re within driving distance of Portland, OR, this is the Getaway for you! Pack up your belly and your girlfriends! Boulder Active Getaway
As much as we love to shop and lunch and shop and drink and shop...we also love a great, outdoorsy, active weekend. You know, the kind where you're up at the crack of dawn (or closer to 8:30am), and out the door, on a mountain bike, soaking up the sunshine and mountain scenery. Then, after an exhilarating/exhausting day of exercise, you can collapse into the hot tub and have someone serve you an ice cold beer? That's what the Boulder Getaway is about. Chicago Cuisine Getaway
Have you been firmly sticking to your diet/workout plan, and feel like you really deserve a good splurgey weekend? If you answered "not really", you should probably ask yourself again. Las Vegas Sin GetawayMartha's Vineyard Getaway
While a bit of a challenge to get to, Martha's Vineyard is relaxation personified once you arrive, and it is more than worth the trip. The terms "quaint" and "charming" were coined, specifically, for places like "The Vineyard", as the kids call it. O'ahu North Shore Getaway
Sand and warm breezes and surf and more warm breezes, and sunshine and surfers and...sorry, what were you saying? You and your girlfriends need a gorgeous, tropical destination with the distinct possibility of running into the cast of "Lost", or just getting lost yourselves, in a Mai Tai or Lava Flow? The North Shore of O'ahu, Hawaii should be at the top of your list. Park City Ski Getaway
Park City is neither a Park, nor a City: Discuss. That joke never gets old! You know what else never gets old? A fun ski weekend with your girlfriends. Portland Beauty Getaway
We all need to indulge ourselves now and again (and again and again), and indulging in a beauty weekend is almost over-indulgent. We said almost. We recommend Portland, Oregon for a beauty weekend for several reasons. San Francisco Getaway
Oh how we adore the City by the Bay! Those hilly streets, those clanky cable cars, and Ghiradelli's chocolates. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and offers almost TOO much to do. World class cuisine, avant garde museums, funky neighborhoods, and get to Alcatraz while you still can (they're considering doing away with the historical landmark). San Francisco Zen Getaway
When your life is flying by at a mile a minute, you must make a point to slow down to an exaggerated pause every once in a while. This is that once in a while. The San Francisco Zen Getaway will yank you right out of the fast lane, cloak you in comfortable natural fibers, and stretch you into chaturanga dandasana before you can say "Hold all my calls". It's Om away from home. Scottsdale Shopping Getaway
Recession-schmecession. See how easy that is to say? You've been carefully saving those pennies, and isn't it time to let loose - at least a teensy bit - and contribute to the economy? Or just contribute to your shoe collection? And in a sunny, warm place, where you can take frequent shopping breaks by sitting at an outdoor cafe and refueling. With wine. Seattle Cuisine GetawaySeattle's weather is typically rainy, which can hinder most outdoor activities. Thankfully, there's eating, which is primarily an indoor activity! And what Seattle lacks in Vitamin D, it makes up for in Vitamin Great Food. If that is not an actual vitamin, it really should be. Seriously, when George Costanza proclaimed "Seattle is the pesto of cities", the food connotation was no accident. Seattle is a woefully underrated food-destination, which means you can be all "cutting edge" by scouting it out first. Tuscany & Umbria Getaway
Tuscany & Umbria are calling. Answer them. There is no better place in the world to experience wine, food and history. Or, if you're feeling lazy, just wine and food. Vail Ski Getaway
Take a deep breath. Then wait a few moments before you try to exert yourself. Unless you're living at elevation, Vail will take a few hours to adjust to. The picturesque ski town sits at 8120. But the adjusting is absolutely worth it, as Vail is an unbelievable ski destination. Vegas - 7 Deadly Sins Getaway
Walla Walla Winery Getaway
You should go if, for no other reason, than to be able to say "We're going on a Walla Walla winery weekend!" "Walla Walla" is just plain fun to say. It's also just plain fun. Be forewarned, if you are not a fan of wineries, this is definitely not the destination for you. Walla Walla is a small, charming, sleepy town. Small, charming and sleepy is precisely what you want after a long day of wine-tasting. The number of wineries is dizzying, and you'll be dizzy enough from all the wine. |
