[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vacations with toddlers are tough. I found the lack of baby proofing in hotel rooms to be more stressful and exhausting than being at home.

It gets SO much better when they get older.

For now I’d say stick with staycations. Pool in morning, nap, then maybe playground or kid-friendly museum.

Use the cash saved on babysitting and do more date nights. [/quote]

It does get so much easier when they get older, but I personally think vacations/trips with little kids is a little bit of the "tired but happy." I expect to be tired, but for me at least, I need to get out of our regular routine sometimes to bring some extra sparks of joy to parenting. Sure it also brings sparks of exhaustion and maybe a crazy vomit story here and there, but it also brings a lot of excitement and new things. We do staycation like things too, but packing up and going somewhere totally new breaks up the monotony in a way that is ultimately really helpful to me and worth it.[/quote]
