Too often, it seems as though we're reluctant to treat ourselves to a relaxing getaway except for that annual vacation. Maybe you plan a weekend trip here and there, but when was the last time that trip was really for you? Consider taking a "me-cation," something relaxing and meditative, so that you come home refreshed and recharged instead of exhausted! If this sounds appealing to you, here are some options, courtesy of 5280:
