I’m looking for any hints on how to go on enjoyable and relaxing vacations with two small children. The kids are 4 and 10months and the four year old is very energetic. Somehow so far everything we tried wasn’t in a way that both parents enjoyed it too much. So we’re happy to learn from your experience. Bonus if it’s not too expensive.
Get a tent, hit a campground, then hit up all the nearby stuff that you like to do with the kids.
Nicer but more expensive get a house rental and again, do local things the kids enjoy.
Honestly, a tour of local public playgrounds is wild fun for kids on vacation - at least in my experience.
