We survived our first family vacation with our toddler (and she’s 21 months today)! I don’t know how so many of you do it with multiple little ones as we’ve had a post-vacation hangover with just our one since returning home. Now I get what, Mike, a fellow blogger and stay-at-home dad who owns Sunshine Dad, was talking about in his post “I Need A Vacation From My Family Vacation“.
Don’t get me wrong, we had an awesome time in Colorado with Going Mom’s family, Nana, Papa, and Niece Ashlee, but geez, traveling with a little one really takes it out of you! All of us against one should be easy, but it proved more difficult than I once thought.
That said, we are still in wind-down mode and I need more time before getting into the details. Whoa, whoa, calm down! I’ll get to it, but for now, I’d like to spend the rest of the weekend with my wife and our crazy little Avery.
I have plenty of pictures to share and stories to tell, and will tackle them all with each post covering a day. At least that’s what I’m thinking. In due time, our memories will be shared.
For now, I need rest….and more food. Here are the pics I posted on Instagram of Avery’s first flight out to Colorado…
….and then back to Texas.
Both times had their challenges, but flight home was extremely trying! Guess flying at her normal bedtime would be a big reason there. Oh well, we’re here and functioning (thanks to coffee) and can still say we all had a good time.
Have a great weekend and come back soon for tales from our travels!
