To say bank Holidays are always a let down?

[LemonSherbetFancies]

Or a bit of a disappointment?
I always have such high hopes for them but they never really go as I want. For example, DP and I went out yesterday but got stuck in a traffic jam. We planned a takeaway and movie night but both were disappointing. Today we wanted a pub lunch but DP has a headache so we can't go.
Aibu to say bank holidays never live up to our expectations?

I like a bank holiday, neither of us work friday so its an extra long weekend.

Grandma asked if she could have my son for the weekend, I couldn’t possibly say no to Grandma. Me and my husband headed to Yorkshire in our camper on Friday morning, we’ve rented a lovely teeny hut so we have a shower/proper loo, we also have a hot tub and open air bath. Friday we largely pickled ourselves in the hot tub and enjoyed having time just for us, yesterday we had a nice walk with the dog and a spa evening. Today we were going to head to the coast but my husband pickled his liver last night, so instead we stayed here, its been nice just having time together with no one else around.

It's a bit like New Year's Eve. Planning to go anywhere can be stressful, especially if traffic is likely to be an issue. Best as pp have said to use it as total down time, get nice food in at home and chill out, maybe with friends round. It's a lovely day today and my plans are to do as little as possible, other than sit in the garden with my book and an ice lolly.

@Bbq1 think you maybe in my neck of the woods - the play sounds great!
