Vacation planning!

So, DH and I are trying to plan a vacay for when he's finished with school and before the baby comes. Here are some options, help us choose. Take in mind, I'll be pretty pregnant. :D

Disney world: it's a 15 hour drive, and since it will be June, Jack and I will probably head in around lunch time and take a snooze while Liam and H ride more rides, swim, or whatnot. Then, we will head back out around dinner when it starts to cool back off.

Michigan: it's close by, like a 4 to 5 hour drive. I've never been there, but I'm sure we could find a nice family friendly place to stay.

Sesame place: 8 hours away, the kids like sesame street, we've never been there. But, Liam is dying to go to the beach, and it's not near the beach.

Cape Cod: 14 to 16 hour drive. we have a family home there. It's super relaxing but we would need to come equipped with baby proofing stuff. I took Liam there when he was 19 months and it was a little bit of a nightmare because I didn't bring gates. And the price is cheap.

Re: Vacation planning!

  • If you go to Sesame Place, the beach - Jersey Shore is about 1hr 45 minutes from Sesame Place. There is alot of kid things to do in the Phila area.

    Sesame Place, Giggleberry Fair, Please Touch, Crayola Factory, Zoo, Aquarium, Storybook land, check out www.visitphilly.com for more ideas.

     I would look into the Michigan option, find somewhere near the lake.

  • I'd do Cape Cod, simply because it's on my "places I'd like to vacation" list :D

  • I vote Cape Cod or Michigan. I've never been to any of these places so really my opinion sucks!

  • I agree with lalamama.  I would not want to be someplace packed with kids and hot that pregnant and with 2 little ones.  I may choose a lake in Michigan over Cape just because I wouldn't worry about the kids ruining stuff as much, but in reality budget may win with the cape.

  • I agree with pp, I went to DW in June once... I wasn't preggo and the heat was far too much. It was too hot to enjoy anything. We kept leaving the park halfway through the day just to cool off. However, you should totally do DW at some point! Could you go in a cooler month instead?

    We were thinking we might wait on DW. I agree with what everyone is saying. I think it's just too much all at once. My mom was really pushing DW because she went in the spring when she was preg with my little sister, I was 2 and my older sister was 3. She says if was fine. I just feel like the crowded park, being preg, two small kids and the long drive might take me over the edge. We could go in December but we will have a four month old, 2 year old and almost 5 year old. It still sounds like a lot of work.

  • I say Michigan. I wouldn't want a long drive. I am biased though since I live in MI but there are a lot of great places to vacation here.

  • Another vote for Michigan.  I was sold on the short drive, I wouldn't like a super long drive with two little ones while I was that pregnant.  And that doesn't even touch the heat and crowds of theme parks.  Plus, it's always fun to research a new place that you haven't visited before!
