Vacation ideas for 17 month old twins?
If you said that driving to Philly is a thought, then Sesame Place isn't
that far away. But, I don't know if I'd be able to handle 17 mo. old twins in an amusment park! My suggestion is Lancaster County, PA. I am in NJ and it's about 2-3 hours away. I absolutely love it there and we have always stayed at a resort called Willow Valley. We brought the kids at 8 mos old., and again at 16 mos. old. They loved it. This place is very family orientated. www.willowvalley.com Megan~ Mommy to A & A 17 months old! (how did this happen?) www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aidannalexis ***New Pictures 02/04*** |

Vacation ideas for 17 month old twins?
Hi Barbara,
I don't really have a suggestion for where to go, just to tell you about our vacation when our twins were 16 months old. We flew to the UK for a family wedding, were in a hotel in Manchester for a week for the festivities, then rented a van and drove around the coast of Wales for another week staying in B&B's. We flew from Israel so the flight was only 4 hours or so, but the kids did great. They were just happy to hang out with us and do what we were doing, of course we had to pay attention to their eating and sleeping needs but just scheduled around those. One thing really helpful at the B&B's, since they didn't usually have baby cots, we brought with us a collapsable tent that they loved to play in, and they just slept in that. We also brought outlet protectors and "babyproofed" each room as soon as we got there. It wasn't always easy, but we had a lot of fun. Hope your vacation goes well, wherever you go!

If you want to stay home, my advice is to treat it like a formal trip. Make
an itinerary of what you want to get done and *don't* slip into laze around mode unless that is what is *planned* for that day! Maybe toss in two or three longer outings (overnight?) on the way, too. I'd also consider throwing in a couple of days of "work" to get done some of those irritating jobs that you never get to but that will give you huge satisfaction to cross off the list ... paint the fence, make a run to the dump,. stuff like that. Personally, I think the most fun kids can have at 17 months is running wild outside at playgrounds, meadows, the zoo and esp. the beach. Also a good children's museum. But if we had two whole weeks off together, I'd also want to do something for the adults too, so I'd be tempted to look for some places to go where you could do some strolling around (art museum, mall, whatever suits your taste) *and* some running free. For that reason, a train ride (didn't you mention that?) would suit me -- although round here it would more likely be a ferry. And def. lots of takeout. :-) --Janet Elliot, Hanna, Connor (10/21/96) and Holly (4/4/01) "Barbara Warner" wrote in message able.rogers.com... Hello, I'm writing to ask for suggestions, for a family vacation in the spring. I've got two weeks off work in May, and while money is definitely 'tight', I'd like to do something interesting by way of a family vacation during my time off. |

Vacation ideas for 17 month old twins?
Hi!
I'd suggest the beach. Are you near one? My 3 had a great time when they were 18 months, and then 2 1/2 and then 3 1/2. Last year we went to Smuggler's Notch (didn't like it too much) in VT. And we just hit Disney for their 5th birthday in January. Disney was incredible, and I thought 5 was a great age for it. But back to you - 18 months - the beach was great. We weren't home - but there was no hussle and bussle. Just relaxing. Books for the adults (for nap time of course) and shovels and life preservers for the kids. We stayed on the water, and also brought a blow up pool - which was great when the tide was strong. good luck, Diana (w/Jared, Vanessa, & Grace) |
