The Great Escape

This week read about a retreat for families in the making.

Each week, I do the investigating for you. My mission is to find an event or opportunity for you to get away and do something for yourself. Typically, this is an opportunity for adults to do things without the kids.

Are you planning to walk down the aisle in the near future? If so, consider stopping by ' 5,6,7 Conference  as a part of the wedding planning process.

"What do you get when you bring together 5 married couples for 6 hours talking about 7 different topics that affect every marriage? You get a one-day treasure of help for engaged couples," according to the church's website.
