For those who feel like judging...

[barefoot84]

I know this girl who took her two babies to Cuba and...

Took them pedal boating without a life jacket


Let them ride in 1950s cars without a seat belt (however, we were sharing the road with horses, bikes, bakers, etc etc, so the speed limit and the trafic were quite light)


Rode cocotaxis with them, and other weird mode of transportation


Let them play on tetanos machines, because some toys aren't allowed anymore in Canada and reminded her of happy childhood memories


And because some toys were just too cool to not play with them


Not only did she let her toddler ride a horse, she got on one with a baby in a carrier (it took a lot of convincing, a very slow horse, and a guide that never let go of the saddle)


Took them on a hike that was probably not very age appropriate, but the toddler enjoyed herself and didn't complain it was too long, and everyone was impressed by the falls


And she let her toddler have ice cream for breakfast once, because she couldn't find anything more appropriate for her daughter who is allergic to eggs

But she taught them to enjoy the sunsets and life, so it's okay, right?

Traveling with them isn't much more difficult than shopping with them. Most days were actually easier and much more peaceful than being at home.

[huskiefanuw]

So jealous of your trip. It looks like you had a great time.

[mightythorgi]

Those waterfalls are gorgeous and it looks like a lot of fun!

[justbeth]

So much fun! I love that swing contraption. Emma would go nuts over that. I'm glad y'all had a great trip and I'm definitely jealous!

[stegasaurus]

Okay, you got me. After the first couple pictures I was like, wow, she's going all out to judge her friend. But then I looked closer and realized it was actually you. Haha, it looks like it was an awesome trip!!

[jodielyn10]

barefoot84, I am SOOO jealous! We were just watching an old episode of No Reservations last night where Anthony Bourdain wen to Cuba and my H and I both want to go so badly. Looks like you had an amazing trip!

[somethingcleverer]

Wow. That looks amazing.

[jennmm]

Looks like a fun trip! Sadly, it took me a minute to realize you were actually talking about yourself and I kept wondering how you got so many pics of someone's vacation.

[barefoot84]

Cuba was everything I was hoping for, and even more. It's too bad it's so hard for American citizen to visit, because it's the perfect place to go with babies. Someone was always waiting to hold the baby and there were so many activities for them. I did a lot of things I would never have done in Canada, namely being in a car without a car seat, but seriously never felt anything was dangerous. I always felt safe and the people were incredibly honest and so fast to offer help. It was a great experience.

Also, traveling with babies really wasn't that hard. It was soooo much easier than being at home most of the time. I hope Tumaini remembers at least a tiny bit of her trip when she's older, but even if she doesn't, I know she had a great time and it was great bonding time for our family.

[sarahandeddie]

Looks like so much fun! I'm judging you for not taking me - lol.

[nesenotes]

Beautiful! Looks like it was a great family trip

[aimeefarrahfowler]

[aylafsu1881]

It took me a moment to get this. I was like wait, why are we judging?
I am glad you had a fun trip and it looks like you had a blast.

[mightybee]

Wow--what a fun trip! Loved judging your vacation

[USCgirl]
