need to get away

Back to School season is upon us for most of America, maybe you or your kids have already gone back to school. Time to start thinking about putting away the BBQs, the swim suits and the shorts while pulling out the jeans, sweaters and sensible shoes. Still, it doesn't mean you can't have one last trip (with or without the kids if you so choose) before studying begins in earnest, right? Especially if someone else is footing the bill!

As you read this, Hampton Hotels is having a daily giveaway of a free weekend stays at any of their locations. Head over to the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes page and cast your lot to win! Entering is easy and well, winning is always sweet. Time spent with family or friends is something you can always look back on, if you choose to bring a camera to document the even is up to you! I've been to Southern California many times with siblings, aunts and friends and have always had a blast and you can too. Think of how thrilled they'll be when you tell them you have won and it is them you want to spend you vacation week-end with. Personally, I don't think I would leave the kids behind, especially when going someplace new – that way you get to see the sights both yourself and through the eyes of a child. Plus, you'd be getting them hooked on travel and learning new ideas and cultures. So, up off your backsides, put down the videogames and the social-networking and win you and your kids a week-end trip you will all remember all thanks to Hampton Hotels!
