Traveling to Tampa for a vacation

My son is fifteen months old and isn’t really great about traveling. The problem is that my husband and I both like to travel. My husband and I had a lot of grand plans about all the traveling we would do. We planned overseas and foreign countries after our son was born. Turns out that isn’t feasible. We did one overseas trip and regretted it. Our baby boy hated flying on airplanes and being in airports. It was tiring and time consuming. Packing and flying with all the gear was horrendous too. So now we have stuck with places that are doable by car. Our son won’t sit in a car that long either. We are in the sunshine state of Florida. Thankfully it is a big state and there are plenty of diverse places to go. My husband and I frequently pack up now and drive to a new spot in Florida. The most recent trip had us go to Tampa, FL. The drive was 2.5 hours and wasn’t too bad. We then stayed in a big, swanky hotel that had a pool and a great view. We hit things like the zoo, aquarium, shops, and a kids concert. There was so much to do there and so much to see. It was a fun long weekend for sure. The best was being able to pack a full car of all our stuff. We got to bring everything, including a high chair which made things so much easier for us. From now on I am only traveling within the state of Florida.
