[quote=Anonymous]The best vacations we had with our kid when he was under 5 were at my MIL's condo in Florida. My H and I traveled a lot before he was born so going to Florida multiple times a year was not what we would've considered ideal as a vacation. But being in the condo was so much more relaxing than a hotel somewhere new. Our kid had a pack in play in a second bedroom (meaning we could hang out during naps and after bedtime), it was an easy and short drive to the beach (so if we were only there an hour it was no big deal), we kept toys and books there, there was a nice pool in the complex, and a playground close by. Plus we could cook or order takeout. It worked out since it was still a relaxing vacation for us and we weren't shelling out lots of money for it or having to go to bed at 8.

Now our kid is almost 11 and we've been to Europe, Asia, and Hawaii in the past few years. So doing something low-key is not forever! When he was a toddler it felt like we'd never be able to "travel" anywhere again. But earlier this year we visited a bucket list item of mine, and I got to experience it with my son knowing he will remember it his whole life. Totally worth waiting for.[/quote]
