I look forward to takinga real vacation with Braden instead of a work/vacation. I am waiting until next year though. You are right on with all the before and afters. We packed so much that I told my wife we were going to look like Clark Griswold in the family truckster. I finally got around to reading your take on vacation.

We're planning a Maui trip for December, when Bea will be 15 months old. Tiny umbrellas for the sippy cups. Woot! Good times! Who needs a stay-cation when you can have this?

They said they did some advance decluttering, but I don't think so. The biggest thing we had was getting him used to sleeping in all these different places - two different hotels, then a week in a strange room was a lot for him in a weeks time. Add to that 28 hours in a minivan and you've got one hell of trip. But I definitely do it again. Maybe not next week, but staying home is no fun. Lots of world to see.

Our youngest decided that since we ruined his routine, he would resort to biting mommy when he got cranky. My right shoulder and upper arm have weird looking bruises now. =S Like you, I'd do it again <B>in a heartbeat</B>. =D I have a video of him asking for his paci over and over, then frowning at me once he realized I was recording him.

My husband's sister decided to have a beach wedding last month! HA! Yeah, that was fun (insert sarcasm here). Luckily, the loudness of the waves drowned out all of the noise from my son! Same exact points you made were things we learned. Just add a bunch of loud adults and drunk college kids everywhere, and it was basically the same. All we did all week long was tell people to be quiet and that the baby was sleeping. Yeah, we were a lot of fun for everyone else! LOL! Oh well, next time we will still go, but we will get our own place, I think! I totally feel you on this one! My husband’s sister decided to have a beach wedding last month! HA!
