Things You Learn When Vacationing with Baby

= Bed-and-Breakfast owners are not totally receptive to you showing up with an "unannounced" infant

= Baby does NOT accommodate your need for rest

= Long drives are not baby's favorite way to spend his time, and he lets you know it in a LOUD and PAINFUL way

= Five days of a different environment/schedule really bite you in the bottom once you return home

= Using baby's at-home playpen as an away-from-home crib sends a mixed message that baby has a hard time decrypting

= You will undoubtedly not pack enough infant clothing to accommodate the increased number of mealtime accidents and/or spit-up events

= Meals out with baby - while harried - are certainly entertaining. Like when he crawls over your shoulder to blow really loud raspberries at the young couple next to you (trying) to have a romantic dinner. Or when he then leans over and spits up at their feet.

= You will inevitably forget your extra camera battery and charger and have virtually no record of baby's first vacation
