toddler travel ideas image

We live in Ohio. We're looking for travel destination ideas with a 2 year old for next summer. It will be mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and the little one in question. We don't mind long drives. He's flown already and did well, but that doesn't really mean anything as kids are changing every week as they get older. Any successful trip ideas?
Answer
When you flew before, was he walking yet? Makes a big difference.
Toddlers are like cats- they don't travel well. However, we did a great trip with an 18 month old this spring to the beach. We were in South Carolina, and we discovered that at low tide in the late afternoon, there were shallow pools of water all over the beach. It was great- he could run and jump in them without us having to worry about waves or undertow, and he had fun finding the hermit crabs and shells. Hilton Head also has an amazing kid's play center and a good playground by the marina.

What toys are a must for a toddler on a plane?

If you flew with a toddler ( 18 months ), what kept your little one occupied for a while? We have a long overseas flight ahead of us.I expect he won't sit for 8 hours, but I would like to find out what are some best little toys to pack. Thank you so much for the tips!
Answer
Portable DVD player.
Stickers.
Play-dough.
Colouring books but be prepared to have to keep crouching down on to the floor to pick up the crayons.
Etch-a-sketch is handy.
Little story books and her favourite teddy.
A good idea is to wrap up little toys in gift-wrap and put them in a bag and every half hour or so let her choose one.
Bring plenty of drinks and snacks.
His little ears might hurt so make sure you have a bottle or soother or something similar for him to suck on when taking off and landing.
It can be a nightmare travelling with babies so just ignore anyone who tut tuts about his making noise. It seems like a long flight but you'll get there in the end! Good luck.
