The difference so far between vacation and every other day:
-Cramped sleeping quarters- all in one room, all in one bed
-Lack of toys to keep kids busy so I can go to the bathroom without asking for help
-Toiletries in a bag on a counter
Why is it deemed vacation time? I'm assuming that one of the troop members that isn't doing the above or bothered by the above may be enjoying themselves. This leaves only two possibilities: toddler and baby. And everyone has seen toddlers tantrum more on the road than in their own environment.
So, inevitably everyone is presuming I would caption a photo memorializing the trip with something like:
"The baby is having a great time on this family trip. We wish to do it again next...never." August 2008
The photo would have the baby smiling or making a cooing face in the foreground while the toddler was on the floor in full tantrum mode, dad in the back left with shoulders slouched, eyes squinted and eyebrows furrowed, while I was in the right back pulling out my hair with mouth wide open, eyes popping out and stains down my shirt.
Yes, vacation season has begun. Help me!
