Road Trips & Cocoons

How often do you intentionally “unplug”?

My husband and I took some time last week to get away and unplug from life’s natural chaos. We call this “cocooning,” when we try to shut out all other distractions and focus on each other. We tried not to answer work emails, we didn’t spend time aimlessness scrolling through our phones, we did our best to not respond to texts or comments or anything.

Instead, we traveled the states, spent time with each other, and focused on our marriage.

We went on an epic road trip that took 8 days to travel to 8 states. It was magical and fun and exhausting and amazing! Surprising as it may sound, it was an incredibly restful and soul-nourishing trip for us. Sitting in a car for eight days can really bring two people together!

How do you unplug? When do you get away? In what ways do you invest in your relationships? I’d love to know!
