Derrick,
Good for you, acknowledging all that your wife does for your family!
Here are some first steps;
- What can you afford? Set a budget, because you don't have to go broke showing her some appreciation.
- Don't Cut Her Out! If you send her on some activity you don't want the rest of the family doing something in a park that she may regret missing. Plan what you will do during that time too!
- What does she like? My wife loves a quick spa treatment, and time to relax by the pool without the kids pulling her six different directions at once. But maybe your wife is a speed junkie who needs a NASCAR fix? Consider her passions, and select that!
So all that being said, here is what I would ask you to do;
a. Send me an e-mail with ideas of what SHE likes. Relaxation, cuisine, shopping, excitement, or some other particular interest. I can help more from there.
b. Plan a half-day for her where you watch the kids and she does something for her (spa, quiet pool with magazines, shopping, para-sailing, you name it!).
Write me back with more info, and I will give you a few suggestions!
Have a magical vacation!
