[quote=Anonymous]I love beach vacations and we have gone the past 3 years with a 1yr old, a 2yr old and then a 3yr old + 8mo old. We rent a house at a beach we drive to. Because we drive, we have toys, stroller, wagon, noise machines, baby monitors, etc. All the things we need to keep our kids happy. Because we have a house, we get groceries and eat all meals at home so adults and kids can eat on different schedules and kids don’t wait at restaurants. We get a big house with grandparents and siblings so we have a high adult to kid ratio. We get a big enough house that the kids have their own room / quiet place to sleep. We get a house that is on the beach or a quick walk. We go to the beach early in the morning at 8 or 9am and stay until 11. By the time we head back to the house for lunch and naps, other family has shown up at the beach and we leave our umbrellas and chairs for them. People in our group come and go until dinner time and the last people clean up while another group makes a simple meal. Staying in a hotel, driving to the beach, or taking my kids to restaurants every day would make it too much work to be enjoyable. [/quote]
