[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really surprised by all the people saying to go. It isn't just the naps that are the issue (which yes we can divide and conquer). With all of the other kids being so much older and a bit more flexible, dinner tends to be late vs. early and some of the activities just aren't great for a 1 year old like multi-hour boat trips (which I know they do almost daily), fishing, hiking, etc.

Unfortunately the baby does not nap well (or at all) in the stroller/carrier. She needs to be somewhere dark and quiet or won't sleep for more than 20 minutes and is a disaster. We have tried it many times. We do push her sometimes when we are home, but not for like 7 days straight. A cranky overtired baby is not fun for anyone to deal with for multiple days while on a trip.[/quote]

Millions of people have 1 year olds and still go on trips.  Don't be that parent.[/quote]
Why? What earth shattering thing will happen if they don't go?
Millions of people also skip traveling with young kids.  Some people prefer to keep their children on a good schedule and routine. She's right - crazy overtired babies aren't fun to deal with. 
If these are good friends, likely they can go in future years when OP is more comfortable traveling. [/quote]

Right? There is nothing more I love now than a vacation with my kid ... but when he was 1? Hell on earth. [/quote]
Could not agree more.  We just didn't find travel to be worth the stress and money.  Now when the kids were 3ish and we didn't need to work around naps and waste half the day? Yep, let's go.
