But when I think about it - that's probably just how vacations are going to be from here on it - whether my kids are 6 months or 6 years - it's not going to be these relax all day by the beach and sleep in sort of trips anymore!Laura https://www.blogger.com/profile/14999684457315081240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-65577385660639865062014-08-14T22:35:40.800-04:002014-08-14T22:35:40.800-04:00That was my fear the whole time about bedtime - sh...That was my fear the whole time about bedtime - she could be fine to go to bed late, but I didn't want to pay for it the whole rest of the trip with her crankiness! Thanks for your input on this (even though I'm getting back to you about it so late!) We bought a better mattress for the PNP, so hopefully that will do the trick next time around!Laura https://www.blogger.com/profile/14999684457315081240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-3104184816599167432014-08-14T22:34:45.484-04:002014-08-14T22:34:45.484-04:00Oh my goodness!!

She did okay but she didn't want to sleep because there was so much excitement, being in the car that long (2 1/2 hours) also annoyed her and we were all so exhausted by the time we got home. I think we will wait till next summer or fall to take a week long vacation! We put her in the pack-n-play on the trip and she didn't seem to mind it but she moves around a lot and the mattress in the pack-n-play is noisy.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475894996684337257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-83844099123022655482014-08-04T09:58:03.451-04:002014-08-04T09:58:03.451-04:00This looks like so much fun!

Which meant some very early mornings for us. We were staying in a room with two beds so JaiseAnn just got one bed. Unfortunately she started rolling over during our trip and one night she rolled off the bed. I slept with her from that point on. She did NOT transition back to the crib well and is officially sleeping with us. I have been so stressed trying to find a plan that works for us. She's had sleep issues ever since we returned. She's trying to crawl so I think that's part of it.Sharleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868533450200166506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-8624302752192412332014-08-04T09:11:48.053-04:002014-08-04T09:11:48.053-04:00There is nothing better than ocean air for a nappi...There is nothing better than ocean air for a napping baby! Baby J was taking two hour naps on the Vineyard, when he was still only taking like 45 minute ones at home! It was amazing.<br /><br />Also, I totally agree with the pack n play. Baby J is still sleeping in our room (his mother apparently can't let go haha) and he's been in the pack n play which he hated. I bought a new mattress for like $25 on Amazon and he's doing a lot better. Still prefers his crib, but it works a lot better right now. <br /><br />Glad you guys had fun! Looks gorgeous!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883089486835538679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-53726430038238733912014-08-04T07:47:41.315-04:002014-08-04T07:47:41.315-04:00I really feel like the type of pack and play you h...I really feel like the type of pack and play you have determines whether not they will sleep. Last summer when we went to Oregon and Kennedy was 7 months old, my mom borrowed a pack and play from her neighbor. We had the same problem as you did, Kennedy would go to sleep but then wake up a few hrs later and end up in the bed with us. This summer, we took our own pack and play with us to the beach and she did great. I really think the older model pack and plays are just super uncomfortable. I told my mom this before our trip to Oregon this summer and she borrowed from a high school friend of mine who had a newer model and Kennedy did great!<br />As far as bedtime, she usually never makes it to bed at her normal time but we try to make it within the hour or so. One night at the beach she stayed up 3 hrs past her bedtime and the next day was not fun so we learned our lesson the hard way!<br />Love all the pictures! Looks like y'all had fun!Carol https://www.blogger.com/profile/04224564521939038770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-11843046059240443452014-08-04T07:07:52.149-04:002014-08-04T07:07:52.149-04:00Ahh...it was such a great vacation.
