How do you plan photography trips when you have a full-time job and family?

I love photography, and I try to go out near my house whenever I can to take photos. However, it’s extremely difficult since both my wife and I work full-time, and we have an eight-year-old son. Finding the time for a full day dedicated to photography is especially challenging. How do you all find time for photography? How do you decide where to go—city or countryside? How do you plan it? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
