Vacations with Baby

[dawnfire]

DH and I have an anniversary coming up in April, and he's really wanting to take a vacation somewhere.  It would just be for a few days (maybe 3-4 max) so I'm trying to come up with some baby-friendly destinations.  LO will be a bit over 8 months at the time.  

We've done cruises, and while we really enjoy them we're wanting to do something a bit different.  LO doesn't like to be worn (I finally found a carrier he likes, but now I'm too much of a wimp to wear his chunk for long) so we're looking for stroller-friendly destinations, too.

Anyone have some good suggestions for vacations with babies at this age?  I've done some research online but it's always good to hear from people who may have been there, done that.

The beach is great for babies. We took DD1 to the beach when she was 5 months old. We got a baby beach tent like this so DD could nap.

It did help we went with family so if DD needed a break from the heat, we could take turns going back to the condo with her. My parents took turns so we could enjoy ourselves.

That's a good idea! I bet LO would really like the texture of sand and the water. (Would just have to hope he doesn't decide to stick random beach debris in his mouth. Yummy seashell!)

I second the beach. My lo has always found the beach to be super exciting, just have to make sure you have the covering you need for lo and whatnot.

Another idea would be somewhere thats has lots of parks or trails to walk.

So I'm really really late to the game but I was wondering what you ended up deciding dawnfire?
