Honeymoon

Do you have a spring break? If so, that`s an option.

If, like my school district, you just have a few days off at Easter, that could still work too. I don`t know how you feel about Vegas, but it`s relatively cheap, pretty nice weather at Easter time, and there are tons of packages for 3-5 days.

If you don`t like that idea, perhaps consider this: will your school district let you take any "personal days" for your honeymoon? (Most won`t give you paid time off, but you never know.) If not, you may be able to take a few days unpaid, latch them on to a weekend, and still be able to get away for a few days at pretty much anytime during the year that you want.

And my last suggestion - if you have your stepson all summer, would it be possible for him to spend a week or so with "Grandma" or an aunt? I don`t think your spending a week on a honeymoon should be a big deal as long as he is in good hands, and understands that you are not ditching him.

Good luck, whatever you decide to do!
