[quote=Anonymous]You need to shift your understanding of what a vacation is. With young kids it's about spending time as a family and seeing or experiencing new things (which for a young kid can happen anywhere). It's NOT about relaxing. I recall having the same frustration when my first child was 18 months or so, but I learned to enjoy vacations when I realized the point was not to relax or unwind. At all. If you want to unwind, take a weekend away from the kids, either with your spouse if you can or even just by yourself. I've gone to spas alone for 2 days and just gotten a massage, hung out in the sauna, and watched TV while ordering room service. Now THAT is relaxing. A beach house with a 2 year old is just parenting work.[/quote]
