Things I Learned During Vacation

I learned a lot on vacation…

I learned that you don’t really relax or rest on vacation with two toddlers.

I learned that the enjoyment you receive during vacation is through living vicariously through little ones who are experiencing the beach and exploring the world for the first time.

I learned that there aren’t enough convenient places to stop quickly when you have two little ones in diapers.

I learned that fast food chicken nuggets get old really fast and I learned how to be creative in presenting new foods to my little ones.

I learned that it takes almost the whole week to get the little ones used to the new schedule (right up until it’s time to leave) but as soon as they get home to their own cribs, it all comes right back to them.

I learned that things we overlook daily are the neatest thing to a 16 month old and a 28 month old.

I now understand why my parents stopped taking us out to eat until we were teenagers.

I learned that a crowded outlet mall on a rainy day can over stimulated two toddlers in 10 seconds flat.

I learned that we can pack more into our SUV than I ever thought possible.

I learned that no matter how much work it is to go on vacation with two little ones, it is totally worth it for shots like this.
