Vacation with parents or alone?

I'm 27 weeks along and have a 2.5 year old. My parents are staying in a condo in Myrtle Beach with a second bedroom/bathroom and invited us (my husband, daughter, and I) along. However, I found out that the bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a downstairs that has a pull out queen size bed. I've had some back problems and realize these aren't optimal sleeping arrangements. I'm just debating if I should save the $, go visit them even for a long weekend just to get away, or stay somewhere else (planning a completely different trip entirely). I'm in such desparate need of a vacation. The rates at the end of March in Myrtle Beach are pretty reasonable. Just wondering others thoughts. The condo my parents are staying at has an indoor heated pool, playground, etc. Just not sure if it's worth compromising the sleep arrangements.

Thannks in advance.

Are you driving or flying? Will you have access to a car? I would go and buy a memory foam topper at the local Target for whichever bed I liked the best, if family is helpful and going to give your pregnant self some rest/break.

If I were your parents, I would give you, the pregnant person, the master bedroom for the long weekend, and DH and I would take the bedroom with twin beds. Would your parents do that? I come from a land where you give the guests, let alone the pregnant person, the best of everything.

Thanks for the feedback. Lol, I wish I lived in a land where others were that considerate of the pregnant woman. I would do the same if I had a pregnant person staying with me.. We would be driving down. That's an idea about the memory foam topper.

Part of me says, go, you need a vacation and you won't be getting one for awhile...sort of a last blast before the next baby comes....

But, you said end of March, so that puts you at 31 weeks? That's a long uncomfortable drive at 31 weeks. That would actually be my main thought, more than the sleeping arrangements.

Why would sleeping in a twin bed be a problem for your back? Just have your daughter sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor, and all is well.

The problem is more about not being able to sleep in a bed with my husband. Doesn't really seem like a vacation to me.
