In May my babies will be 19 months and 7 months and I'd like a few days away by car. I'm not sure yet if my partner can come away so for now I'm assuming it'll just be me and the little ones. As we live in Cornwall beach or coast holidays are wasted on us but I still don't want to drive too far.
London feels like far too much effort since I'd be taking the car and perhaps probably better saved for when they're old enough to appretiate the historic attractions and the shows, or is it?
Cardiff crossed my mind, but then I've heard it's not the nicest of cities with a baby. Also Cardiff seems to promote itself on it's proximity to castles, Cornwall has plenty of castles. So I'm not sure what to expect of Cardiff?
Then I thought about Bristol. It's conveniently near, I've never been there and there's bound to be lots to do. What though with 2 little ones?
I keep thinking about a previous break in York when my eldest was 6, which was great and I'm sure it'd suit the babies, but York is just too far to drive. London or Cardiff really would be the maximum I'd be prepared to go from here.
Or... The wildcard... Fly to Edinburgh? Is Edinburgh worth the hassle of taking 2 babies on the plane? Or will I just get irritated with wall to wall American tourists?
All ideas welcome.
