[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four people have to get up and get ready. Two are kids who are out of their routine, and one of those is young enough to still need shepherding. Everyone may not be sleeping well, especially if the four of them are sharing one room. Mom and dad may be undercaffeinated and more tired than usual (that’s what happens to me when I travel). 8:3 breakfast is about what I’d be able to manage. You should eat earlier, separately,  and then enjoy a second cup of coffee to sip and sit with them when they come down to breakfast.  Find activities that work for everyone’s schedule. Kids slow everything down during travel. [/quote]

I don't assume everyone needs to shower and get cleaned up, so it shouldn't take an hour between waking up and being ready. If they are going to be lake swimming all day they can just get dressed quickly and head down. I wouldn't bathe my kids before breakfast. Especially if in the lake, they would have a shower/bath before bed. But I agree with eating separately.

“It shouldn’t”…um, who are you to determine what complete strangers and their kids should do with their morning?! [/quote]
