[quote=Anonymous]We camp or rent a beach house and then keep expectations and activities low key. Hikes, the beach in the morning and late afternoon when it’s cooler, going to the playground, swimming, etc. I find being in the outdoors super relaxing, and that relaxation adds the vacation feel when what you’re really doing is moving all the kid work you normally do to another location. So you need to find whatever type of vacation adds relaxation for you at a higher rate than the stress of traveling with kids. That might be staying home until they’re older.

My sister used to visit cities with interesting outdoor things to see and wander with few planned activities when her kids were young. I remember her going to Boston and Chicago specifically. That wouldn’t work for me but it did her, but she hates nature and loves architecture. I do remember that while she didn’t use a stroller after the kids were toddlers she did when they travelled because they’d get tired walking. So maybe give into the kids more when you’re away than you would at home - screens, snacks, strollers, etc. [/quote]
