I'm a big advocate of traveling with little kids. It's entirely possible to take a baby on vacation and have a great time (we've taken our kids all over the country and to Iceland). But admittedly, kids do add cost and complications, and let's be honest, sometimes they're exactly what you need a vacation FROM. We've been considering taking a trip with just the two of us, but it's kind of nerve-wracking. Even if we leave them with grandparents, there are still so many "what-ifs" and worries. I think we'd miss them a lot. But a good place to start is with a small trip, nearby, in our own state. And luckily for us, Washington is full of beautiful getaways! I rounded up eight of my favorite hotels for trivago magazine. Each one would be a perfect home base for a memorable and romantic getaway in Washington state. Have you stayed at any of these? And if you have kids, have you ever left them at home and taken an adults-only vacation? What age were they when you did that for the first time?

This photo is from Treehouse Point in Issaquah. The entire property is adults-only, which means we could only stay there if we leave the kids behind. Doesn't it look so cozy and romantic?
