To all amateur marriage counselors out there:
Am I the only one that read the O.P.'s account(s) of the two trips taken so far? Even he has to admit that at least the first one was "brutal" in terms of overscheduling/travel.
... 2,167 miles in seven days!
If trip two was anything like that, it seems unsurprising that there's a reluctance to do it again....
To O.P.:
A little less frantic scheduling and a little more relaxing might be a good approach!
Very good point, Francesca!
We used to do the marathon drives to go camping. No more. We now stop to smell the roses, so to speak.
To the OP. Maybe limit the distance to a 2 or 3 hr. radius. Wifey might be more receptive of that as opposed to 9 hrs driving and another hour of setup.
