We tell them the truth...
but
not the
whole truth.
We only have our family to "tell" because we don't have friends. LOL
We tell them we went to a bar with friends, went dancing, went to dinner, went to a birthday party. All true.
When we've travelled to SB Meet Ups we said we wanted to get away for a weekend together because it's time we spent money on such "frivolous" things and "have some fun."

We figure my parents would understand, since they started traveling the country in an RV when they were our age.
