DD turns 1 year old the day we fly home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2308194 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:19:12 +0000 sunny 2308194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did an all inclusive in Mexico at 14 months and it was great. She loved the pool and beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2308100 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:09:27 +0000 LilSprinkles 2308100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Southern California and Chicago. A month or so after DS was 18 months we went to Hawaii. He was great on all three trips (especially to Hawaii since it took us 20 hours to get there). He had a blast on all three vacations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307977 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 17:54:44 +0000 sapphire 2307977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I love Cannon Beach :) we'll definitely be making some trips to the coast in the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307919 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:55:01 +0000 chanzi 2307919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went on a cabin camping trip (light hiking, hanging out at a lake) and some day trips to the beach. All of our longer vacations were just visiting family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307875 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:16:58 +0000 HabesBabe 2307875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy crap, you guys all take baller vacations.</p> <p>We did long-weekend trips that were 1-3 hours driving distance. Big Bear (mountains), Solvang (wine tasting and danishes), and Palm Springs-area for the pools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307871 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:14:53 +0000 Tanjowen 2307871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: Cancun at NYX resort. Small but very nice. It is walking distance from a shopping mall and an aquarium, and the beach is very nice with turtles hatching on site. Cancun is super easy to navigate and kid friendly, so any resort should work well I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307869 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 16:10:08 +0000 catlady 2307869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: Yes, I thought it was good for that age. LO used the nursery once before she got sick and enjoyed it, and we met another family on board who would put their 20 month old in the nursery for naps every day so they could go hang out. Although most activities were for older kids, they had baby/toddler time (with lots of toys) at least once per day and also Disney Jr dance parties a few times (my LO could walk well at that point so I let her join in). The hard part was dealing with naps (she was still on 2 per day) and early bedtime. The ports all had beaches and some toddler friendly activities. I think most people wait until their kids are 3 to go so they can use the kids clubs but there were still plenty of little ones on board too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307815 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 15:17:26 +0000 sapphire 2307815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: where did you stay in Mexico?@catlady: was the Disney cruise good for that age? Was there enough for LO to do?@photojane: where did you stay in Cozumel? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307810 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 15:15:05 +0000 sapphire 2307810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the recs so far! Hawaii would be the easiest but we've been to 3 of the major islands already so looking for something easy but different. Thinking perhaps Mexico! We've never done an all inclusive but with the LO it might be easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307763 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:17:42 +0000 dolphin 2307763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cancun when she was almost 18 months. It was so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307762 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:16:09 +0000 Mrs D 2307762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Charleston with our 18 mos old, before that was just trips to Naples, FL. </p> <p>At 2 she just road-tripped to Philly, will be going to Denver and then Naples again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307723 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:36:34 +0000 Tanjowen 2307723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All inclusive in Mexico or Dominican Republic are our standard vacation spots with our LO since 9 months (almost 2 yo now). Room service, can eat anytime somewhere on the resort, lots of pools and the beach, and alcohol included for the big kids - everyone wins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307641 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 12:46:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2307641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: just sent it (possibly twice if so I can delete the second one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307579 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 12:01:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2307579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Seaside, OR! It was perfect. She loved the beach, stroller rides on prom, the swings on the beach, playing in sand, all the fun shops, etc. Seaside is a good family vacation. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307550 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 11:43:49 +0000 gingerbebe 2307550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are about to take our 13 month old to Maui in 10 days! He loves the water, so we're hoping between the pool, the beach, and the aquarium he has a blast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307451 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 10:35:54 +0000 nana87 2307451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 2 really low-key trips--North Fork (tip of Long Island), NY for a long weekend and northern Michigan for a week with family. It was good for us to have not-so-ambitious plans (basically, beach, hikes, yummy meals, family play time) since LO has still wavered between 1-2 naps so scheduling is tricky. A more exotic beach would have also worked, she loves being in the sand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307324 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 09:27:24 +0000 JennyPenny 2307324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did Tuscany with our 13 month old based on the recommendations from Mrs. Skateboard's post (<a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2015/04/20/tuscany-with-bambino/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2015/04/20/tuscany-with-bambino/</a>). It was wonderful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307280 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 09:06:48 +0000 snowjewelz 2307280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oo, can you wall me some details of your trip! That's where we'd go too since we're in NY so I love that it's a short direct flight and no passports/customs/currency exchange to deal with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307244 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 08:44:46 +0000 MrsKoala 2307244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 days in Europe. My LO was a champ with the time change and it was a lot of fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307224 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 08:33:58 +0000 catlady 2307224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a Disney Cruise to the Caribbean at 16 months. It would have been amazing if we all hadn't gotten a really scary flu while on board. We were so impressed by everything though, we will definitely do another Disney Cruise at some point (just not during flu season next time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307170 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 08:05:14 +0000 illumina 2307170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nowhere! We took her from the U.K. to Spain when she was 11 months and it was HARD! That put us off for a while and we took her on short haul trips in Europe at 19, 21 and 23 months and from the U.K. to the U.S. at 20 months. Those were all so easy in comparison. I'd definitely go later if you can help it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307163 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 08:00:29 +0000 youboots 2307163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: Hi! I see you so much in our March group, nice to see you over here :heart: So we have not actually gone yet but we are taking T to Oahu when she is 8.5 months, Las Vegas at 1 year and a central Oregon resort at 15 mo. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping it goes well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307159 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 07:58:04 +0000 Alivoo01 2307159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months - road trip from Dallas to Houston to New Orleans to Pensacola and back. </p> <p>18 months - Cancun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307156 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 07:56:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 2307156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: We did Disney at 18 months too (Disney Land) and LO had a blast! </p> <p>There are tons of great options (easy flights) from the PNW! Hawaii for a beach retreat, California for Disney or Legoland/similar places. Anywhere really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307072 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 03:08:24 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2307072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bali, and it was awesome! And we're going to Fiji in March. From Australia though, which is pretty short haul. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307062 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 01:45:44 +0000 lamariniere 2307062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since you are in the PNW, go to Hawaii! Or go to Asia, I would recommend Thailand.</p> <p>With DS at that age, we went to Hawaii, moved to France, went to a bunch of places in France, Portugal and back to the US for a wedding with a stop in Miami.</p> <p>For DD at that age, we went to France twice (but we live in Europe now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307058 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 01:32:38 +0000 Ree723 2307058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bali when DD1 was 15 months old and it was fantastic! Lots of pool and beach time, super easy.</p> <p>When DD2 was 15 months old (DD1 was nearly 3), we went to the Canary Islands and again had an amazing time. </p> <p>I think the common theme in this thread is beach! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-vacation-with-your-12-18-month-old#post-2307014 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:53:48 +0000 birdofafeather 2307014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went to kauai at 15 months and it was awesome! </p>
