If it is an evening out, we're going on a date. Not my problem if family assumes that its with each other.
If its a mini trip that involves going out of town we tell everyone that we're going on a weekend get away, just need some time away from the kids. Sitters know how far we are in the event of an emergeny and have our cell # so we no longer have to give our exact destination.
We've had some stange looks over the past couple of years when we'd say "Oh yeah, we're going away this weekend" and then asked where only to tell of a place that really isn't an attraction. Not to mention a few remarks wondering why we have so many new friends and "where are you meeting these new friends?".? Oh well, what they don't know won't hurt 'em.
