Well we had a lot if fun and it was beautiful but I'll be brutally honest that it was EXHAUSTING. For me at least. ILs kept saying they were going to take Baby Fuss for a few hours "tomorrow," or "when we get to the Big Island," but it never happened. So it was pretty much a 9-day slog of H and me keeping Baby Fuss busy in paradise while three other childless couples had their Dream Vacation, and H and I got no time to ourselves. And once we got to the wedding it was mostly all on me, since the wedding was H's and ILs' family friend. The Deuce was growing like crazy (I gained 3 pounds while gone, and not from eating bad food) and so I was a walking zombie at times from exhaustion. I think I need a vacation more than ever now!

Oh it had its relaxing moments here and there at least. But mostly I don't count those moments when you have to step away from your child lest you commit infanticide as "relaxing" lol.
But Baby Fuss really did have a great time and so I'm glad we could give him a taste of adventure like that since we're normally so boring.

Ok I feel compelled after all these "sorry"s to explain that I did not go on this trip *expecting* it to be relaxing! Since the ILs were there and since the whole thing was their idea, I was simply hoping for maybe a half-day of quality time on my own with H, but believe me, the reality of traveling with a toddler while pregnant was no surprise!
Haha yeah, I wasn't upset. We lathered up on sunscreen and got in the water and it was COLD and poof it was gone from his finger. We looked for a little bit, but really the water was over our head and there was no way we were going to find it.
