Shouldn't complain, but I will anyway

Dear Diary,

The BHE has to go to a conference in San Diego in July. He wants Edwin and me to join him. I would loooooooove to go to San Diego. Sun! Beaches! Mexican food! But frankly, how much of a vacation would it be for me having to entertain Edwin by myself for 5 days while the BHE is doing whatever cartographers do at their conferences (see who can draw the best freehand map of the Baltic penninsula?) The idea of it is making me exhausted. And I feel terribly guilty about that. I should jump at the chance to take Edwin on a great vacation. I should have the energy and wherewithal to shlep him around to various sights and beaches without feeling overwhelmed by the prospect. Oh, poor me, I have to go to San Diego. Come on, Fluffy.

Love,
Fluffy

I get what you're saying. It IS a huge pain to travel with babies/toddlers. The sheer volume of stuff they require is daunting to pack. But ... GO! I think you'll actually find that it's worth it in the long run. The zoo alone is worth the trip.

Ditto what Jenn said. It will be worth it!

you should go! don't stay home and wallow in self-pity. a toddler isn't a barrier to fun! I'm sure you'll have a great time in a new environment. pack up and get on that plane!

I'm kind of with you, but on the other hand, isn't it nice to be out of your regular environment? You can go to Sea World and watch trainers get swallowed whole... awesome.
