Before I go gung ho on vacation pics & posts, I offer one bit of vacationing with baby advice. 

Should you stay in a just-for-the-nite hotel, rolling in just a bit beyond bed time, brush your teeth and wash your face immediately upon entering. As it turns out, when you’re all in the same room and you finally get your kid to sleep, it’s lites off  for everyone. Stuck in the dark trying to not make any noise.

And, and, and if your kid doesn’t kick it in a Pack N Play, um, ever, be prepared for a good 9 minutes of hand raking back-and-forth across the net.
