The first trip I took w/the kids (and no h) was a ski trip but there was also a blizzard the night of the drive. Got stuck in the snow and s1 (then) did not know how to attach our chains...we slipped and slid and could not find the place...30 minutes later we realized we were stuck just about in front of it...little miracle?? you bet.
ended up having a lovely lovely time w/o h. Had movies, beer (for s19& me!) and games and snacks and a HOTTUB in the snow...even took our dogs.
Sled down hills and went Skiing, no injuries. Great time and only 3 days. Break it in gently--but we went places the family had NOT gone, fyi.
So no awkward recollections or emotions, just knowing if h were home, we would not have done it b/c he was always paranoid about money...
So We set the new tone and standard of family trips with our new family...if h joined us later, so be it. WE HAD FUN...
don't know where h was...not my problem.
Have a good time--btw, our schools only have 1 week for spring break and we're lucky if it's near Easter.
