I would’ve loved to have gone to Hawaii. I still haven’t been to Paris (after 2 ill-fated attempts). Even a trip to my most fave city (NYC) would’ve been fun. As ‘fabulous after having a baby’ as I try to be, I’m opting for UNfabulous when it comes to vacationing this summer. And it’s LadyP’s fault.
Before she came along, I flat-out told Hubby “That’s the end of planes for a while.” He shook his head and rolled his eyes. He thought I was exaggerating. I guess he forgot that he married a woman of her word. I have no desire – NO DESIRE – to travel on a plane with an infant. (Maybe I’d feel differently if my immediate family lived somewhere further than a 3-hour car drive?) Usually I have respect for parents who opt to seize challenges head-on, but when I see babies on planes…. urgh… it honestly exhausts me. And that’s no way to start a vacation. Kudos to all of you who do it…. this mommy cannot. I make my point… and get schooled by a couple of my Momversation mamas who are braver than me!
HI Jill, Great blog, cute little girl! Okay I have to disagree with you, I love traveling with one or two of my kids on a plane. It’s not the same as the glamourous single days but it’s an awesome opportunity to see your kiddo experience something new and exciting. Now if I am taking all 6 of my kids somewhere, it’s road trip all the way purely because I despise the looks we get when we are boarding the plane!!!
Ah well, I am sure you will get the itch to go somewhere eventually and when you do, the tips the other moms gave are fantastic!
Hi! Wait…. did you say SIX kids?!?!???? Whoa! Congrats! You must laugh at my inability to roll with the punches with just one! haha! Hopefully I will learn more as time goes by…
