I don't get to fly often enough

Yeah, I know every pilot says that, but I truly don't.  I got a text message today from my CFI asking when I was going to come back up there.  Work and family take over during the week.  I try to fly every weekend, but things seem to always get in the way. For the past few weekends, they've been successful in keeping me on the ground.  I like staying proficient and feel better when I have at least five or so hours a month, but it doesn't always work that way.

On the other hand, I don't think I'd enjoy flying every day all day; that's why I didn't follow the path of Commercial Pilot.  I like to separate the things I do for fun and the things I do for funds.  Combining the two occasionally can be amazing, but mostly, it just messes up one or both.  I'm thinking of going on a cross-country.  Problem is, I'm not sure where I'd go or what I'd do.  To the mountains to get away or to the beaches for a little relaxation?  It's growing colder, I'm not sure the beach would be a good idea.
