Such good vibes and advice! Sharing a few of my own: if you can credibly travel to see friends and family while also getting your own space without breaking the bank, it often feels like a nice form of multitasking to deepen relationships while also getting out of town ,(and anything that makes travel cheaper helps me feel less miserable when the vacation is harder than expected due to illness or rain/cold or whatever). I also swear by the vacation where both parents, the kid(s), and the most kid-loving auntie/uncle/grandparent go to the same rental. I love the flexibility of different adults getting free time and the other adult bonding with the kid, even if the non parent is doing way less heavy lifting and very little full-on babysitting 🙂

I love this. Every time I've travelled with my young daughter, I haven't felt relaxed but I have felt happy.
