Children never behave the same way traveling as at home, it is inevitable that they will scream, fight and claw their way through a vacation.
They will not go to sleep even though you have brought their favorite blankie and teddy, or their awesome new night light, but as always as a parent you keep trying.
You enjoy the time you have with family to its fullest, and you live through what might have been the most stressful week of your life. When you get home you unpack and hope that you didn't forget things a thousand miles from home, and hope that your child will never notice if you do.
You print off all of the photos add them to your favorite album and remember the time as a happy one, no matter what was going on at the moment, at least you have each other in the end.
