A while ago we were thinking about heading down south for a week to finally get away and kick up out feet. Thinking more and more about it, we were sure it was the perfect time to take Carson on his first adventure down south and we were confident we could handle it.
After doing some research and trying to figure out a date that would work, we decided it just wasn't worth the money right now. It would have been well over what we wanted to spend and we knew it wasn't going to be the kind of vacation we wanted (one without a baby for that kind of money!!!). Also, the dates just weren't lining up. So, we made it through another winter here in Canada and survived, even with a baby!
It's all for the best anyway, we've been having some awesome spring temperatures so I'm glad we didn't book anything for April like we were going to!
We still are going to be vacationing this year at some point. It seems like time is just flying by. Carson is coming up on 9 months already and another summer is quickly approaching.
One thing I've learned and will remember when we have our second baby is that if we just book something ahead of time we will be forced to go and have fun. We thought about it too much and then it was too late. Carson was at just the right stage in January and February to go away. He was good at sitting in one spot and not going anywhere. I miss that already!
Something we've both learned out of this is that planning is a big part of being parents now. If we don't make plans for fun, it just doesn't happen. I don't like planning everything in my days or weeks, because things change, but making the effort to plan time for family fun is something we need do more of.
