[quote=Anonymous]I just took my 1yo and 3yo on our first “vacation” (flying to NYC for a wedding; total of 3 days) that wasn’t visiting the grandparents.  I actually had a great time?  Super stressful of course because you’re parenting without the structure of your usual safe space and routine but still fun.  I think my key takeaways were:
- don’t spend money on anything expensive; the holiday in we stayed at was safe, kid-friendly, offered breakfast included in the room price downstairs, the most exciting meal they had was airport pizza not the fancy rehearsal dinner spread, etc.
- reset your expectations of your trip: you are not going to X to see museums or architecture or do activities; you are going on a tour of the local playgrounds, ice cream shops, parks, and pools.  Maybe a children’s museum or science center.
- if you can possibly avoid driving not having to handle the car seats is a delight; if you’re going to NYC specifically try to avoid bringing a stroller and at least bring one that collapses if you must because many places don’t have elevators (this is probably true is many older cities in the world)[/quote]
