Big Bear may seem like it’s geared for families or young couples, however, there is so much more to the area that can suit those of all ages! After becoming empty nesters, there are lots of reasons to plan a special getaway just for you and your partner. Raising kids and launching them out of the home is an accomplishment to be celebrated, but it also tends to leave couples wondering how to feel their newly open schedule.
Plan ahead to fill some of your wide open weekends with special getaways, enjoying some quality time together and remembering that you are still a complete family even as the two of you. Big Bear is a great place to plan a romantic empty nesters getaway, with plenty of things to do, great places to eat, and beautiful natural scenery 12 months out of the year.
Why plan an empty nesters getaway to Big Bear?
You might have plenty of things to keep you busy at home, maybe even a long to do list of projects you’ve put off until this empty nester season of life. While being productive at home is one of the perks of this season of life, there are also a few reasons to should make sure to leave town together.
Connect, Look Back, and Look Ahead
Even just a few days away will allow you to reconnect and focus on each, solidifying your relationship in this entirely new chapter. Some couples find that they feel themselves growing apart after the kids move out, without the natural connecting point of attending activities as a family and parenting together. A getaway will remind you why you’re together and allow you some quality time to reminisce over the past and plan for the future.
Discover Something New
A getaway to Big Bear is a great way to discover a new hobby. There may be something you never tried while the kids were at home, perhaps because of time or budget constraints, that you can fit into your life now. Getting away together is a great time to try out one of these new hobbies, like hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, fly fishing, painting, or anything else you’ve always been interested in.
Foster Personal and Relational Growth
As your season of life changes, you have to change and grow with it. On a getaway with your partner, you can work together to grow into your new roles. Taking a less hands-on approach with the kids tends to bring many character traits to the surface, and who better to process these things with than your life partner.
