[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We plan very active vacations with this age (kids are 4 and 2) because we know we will not be relaxing anyway. So we pick somewhere we have wanted to go/see and we do hikes, sightseeing, museums, etc etc. For out most recent trip we would do one very active AM activity, come back to Airbnb for nap, then do a lower key PM activity but still out and about. This worked out really well and the kids were exhausted by bedtime so we could sit on the porch, do the hot tub, have a drink, etc. [/quote]

This is the answer.  We’ve done two trips so far this year with our 2 year old: one roadtrip with lots of hiking through a few national parks out west and another lake house rental where we did basically nothing.  The lake rental was infinitely more stressful.  The house wasn’t babyproofed, so we basically spent every minute watching him.  The hiking trip certainly wasn’t relaxing in the sense that we were up early and very active, but it was restorative.  [/quote]
