We were gone for 5 days over Christmas and this is why I don't like to travel with 2 toddlers....
...it took me 5 days just to pack for the trip
...45 min to pack the car
...8 hours of entertaining 2 kids, one who likes to drop everything off to the side just out of Mommy's reach which results in a crying fit in return causes the othe child 8 times out of 10 to start crying as well
...5 stops to pee, and let the girls run around
...the very first day I got the stomach flu and have been sick for a week
...daddy got the stomach flu and has been sick for 4 days
...the kids didn't get normal naps for 5 days straight, aka: cranky toddlers
...the kids didn't eat a decent meal for 5 days straight, it's hard to push them to eat their food when your either surrounded by family or in a restaurant
...Caylee poops a lot! There are not a lot of changing tables on the road. Tricky with poopy.
...it's hard to plan the day around nap schedules
...the girls wake up scared because they are in a new place
...forget about sleeping in, once they open their eyes they can see you and want you to be awake NOW
...it's hard to get ready and have to make sure the kids don't get into any thing that is not kid proofe
...packing and re-packing lots of snacks every day and knowing what to expect
...Courtney was so thrown off by all the Choas that she peed her pants 3 times in one da
...Caylee got diarrhea and leaked thru onto her carseat in the last 2 hours of the trip resulting in a cranky toddler for the last 2 hours
...it takes a few days for the girls to get back into their sleeping/eating routines
...it takes 5 days to unload, unpack, do laundry and re-organize from the trip
I've got to get this down better if we ever want to travel more
