Sometimes being a grownup is hard. Having to get up, get the kids to school, get yourself to work and then hosting or going to gazillions of parties/meets/school functions for the kids. Endless soccer games, basketball practices, hours waiting for swim practice to be over.  

Don’t you think maybe it’s time for you to have a little fun?

How about an overnight or a weekend getaway? Nothing fancy, just a quick, carefree, affordable getaway where YOU can have all the fun. Think date night, or bachelor(ette) party, or even having an old college friends meet-up. Have a big family and tired of seeing your cousins only at weddings and funerals? Try organizing a weekend reunion in Greater Lansing. But only if they’re game!

Here are some super fun ideas!
