I booked us a condo by the beach for 4 nights so we could have a family vacation this summer.  We hoped that Alex would do well traveling now that he was older and he had transitioned into a big boy bed.  He did a great job sleeping in a twin bed with Brooke in her own twin bed.  They had a lot of fun except Brooke was not very happy to be woken up an hour earlier every morning by him poking her in the face and wanting to play (I guess she didn’t realize that Mommy gets up everyday and plays with him until she finally decides to get up).  Both kids had a great time at the beach and we had better than predicted weather.  Mostly we stayed at our condo complex and went to the beach and pool everyday.  Our condo was north facing and had a great view of the ocean and Back Bay.  The great thing about Sandbridge is that with the exception of a few restaurants, one store, and one ice cream place, it is largely residential so it is very quiet and peaceful. One night we went to ice cream and the last night we went to a nearby park.  We really enjoyed spending time with each other on vacation, it was relaxing and fun for everyone.
