Mommy & Me - on vacation!

As a working mom, I often feel like I don't get the quality time I need with my little guy...which is why I am so looking forward to our upcoming vacation. I know, I do, that in many ways vacation with a toddler is actually more work. The "getting there" part is especially stressful. But it can also be so much more fun.

We've been lucky enough to be able to travel quite a bit with A in his first year and a half of life. On the whole, he has been pretty good at adapting. Sleep isn't as good as it is at home, but time changes confuse my internal clock too, so how can I blame him?

The best parts? Watching him experience new things. Seeing the world from a toddler's perspective. Things I wouldn't think were interesting can catch his attention for long stretches of time (luggage tags, for example!). He's willing to try new foods, makes lots of friends (by waving to everyone in existence) and we end up exploring places we otherwise might not have gone.

We've had some fun times on our vacations!

I think this trip has potential to be a great one. Lots of outdoor time, lots of hotel rooms with 2 separate rooms, maybe even some trains! Wish us luck :)
