My boyfriend and I had only been together about eight months when he popped the question. No, not the question. "Want to go on vacation this summer?" To say I wasn't prepared for that was an understatement. Dating was one thing, but vacation? That sounded like a trial honeymoon to me.
Luckily, though, I bit the bullet and went for it - and the experience brought us closer together. So far, I've braved Atlantic City, Vermont, the Outer Banks, Connecticut and Louisville with my sweetie - and we're planning to head to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break. How did we do it? Love, patience, and some great advice:
Be prepared to show off your worst. You might look awesome every time you meet them for a date, but would you be comfortable having them see you with your rolled out of bed look? The just-rolled-out-of-bed look may seem sexy in the movies, but it's not reality. Be ready to show off your bed-head, morning breath, raccoon-eyed self.

I took a trip with my boyfriend of 4 years to Virginia. We had a
blast and it was really great spending the time with him. I think
the trip made me realize how much I love being with him. It
really opened up our relationship for the better.
