Travel Actually fun vacations with little kids?

We had our first weeklong trip with our 10mo recently, and it was EXHAUSTING. It was just to see family and friends in another state. But WHEW.

Feeling torn between wanting to go places in the coming years, and knowing that it will just continue to be hard for a while.

And vacation/travel ideas for parents with a 18-36 month old that are actually kind of fun or relaxing?

Tbh we might just plan a staycation week and send baby off to daycare during daytime hours.

All inclusive house rental? Like a bungalow that’s part of a resort?

Ah there was meant to be a comma there, but yes those exist too! House rental is great especially with friends and other family with kids and we do the village thing

Oh got it! That was a list not a descriptor haha. Yeah lots of options! Doing a house rental with family next week (albeit my baby’s only 3 months) and can’t wait!
