Thursday Phil and I headed down to the coast for a little getaway just the two of us. We headed right for his favorite fishing hole, the Gulf of Mexico. Right where we spent part of our honeymoon almost 7 years ago.

The Honeymooners 2007.

*This is one of those “More for me than anyone else” posts. My blog helps me remember things that need remembering so if you snooze through this one come back another day, you’ll probably snooze again, but there could be better pictures.

I love vacations. I love being able to get away from normal and do something else even if for no other reason than to be able to look forward to getting back to normal again. We all need time to get away and relax, reboot, refresh.

But vacations with babies aren’t really those kinds of vacations. Vacations with babies is doing all the same stuff you do at home just with different scenery.

On vacations with babies a simple diaper change can become one of the most frustrating things you’ve ever done. You can’t just grab a pack of wipes out of the drawer you keep them in at home, you’ve got to remember which bag you packed them in, then hunt down that bag, hopefully it’s not the bag you left in the van, the van that’s locked, cuz then you got to go look for the husband who has the keys to unlock the van so you can find the bag that has the wipes in it.
