Treat Your Folks to Weekend Getaways
Your parents, or perhaps even the in-laws, can be packed and ready to go for the two day break in no time especially when they know they have weekend getaways to take advantage of. They will be more than happy to spend the time in the car driving to their destination, provided they don't spend the whole weekend getting there. As long as the place is within a few hours from home you are golden with the location. They would most likely want to be able to do things while they are there, so the spa is a good idea, but it doesn't have to take up the entire holiday. If you are fortunate enough to live within a few hours from the beach, then you should consider sending them there. A beach bungalow would be a great way to spend the time walking on the beach, watching the sunset or sunrise together and just enjoying each other's company away from all the madness back home. If your mom and dad are not keen to do a lot of walking then you will have to try and find a resort of some sort where all the activities are in one place. They can enjoy a dip in the heated pool and sunbath on the grass. Most of the resorts have a lot indoor activities for you to do so you can at least do something fun together and possibly even get to meet new people as well.
Once they are done and they are ready to drive back home, they will be happy to have met new people and more than thankful once they get back and they will know how much you appreciate what they did for you.
