It seems like going on vacation with a small child is just not worth it. First there is packing and lugging them and all of their paraphernalia onto an airplane. Then there is trying to survive the plane flight without alienating the entire population on said vehicle. Once you are there, their sleep schedules are off. There is much crying. Once you make it back home exhausted, it begins all over again. The sleeping is off. Then they get sick. And they cry and cry and cry. Aspirin must be consumed (by me). The next time I see a travel brochure, I throw it in the recycle bin. It's just not worth it.
