No way.
Travel is - inherently - filled with heavy doses of missed naps and sleepy eyes and late bedtimes and all those delights :) When sleep does happen it's like this.... on a median in the midst of honking horns and crowded traffic, waiting for our ride (train station to hotel), three hours past nap time!
I treasure all the rest they can get though. And I LOVE when they fall asleep on me. Precious moments with my babies. It's no rocking chair in a dimly lit room, but cuddles are cuddles wherever you might be standing!
I'm (almost always) pleasantly surprised by how well they (almost always) do. We tend to ask a lot of them on travel days - stay by mommy, hurry up, slow down, no running, hold the stroller, sorry I'm out of water, only one more hour, I can't find your coloring book, please wait patiently and on and on and on and on - it's not easy on little ones (or their parents!)!!
I only wish I had a picture of everyone asleep in our hotel room. It was pretty awesome. In a "with heads on pillows everyone is within arms reach of at least one other person" kind of way!

Precious photos, times, memories. I loved those cuddle moments too when you and Stephen were small - so precious, so quickly a memory. Looking forward to cuddling grandchildren! Love you all - less than 4 weeks!
Ryan has short naps every so often and will cuddle with me and we fall asleep together to finish off the nap! I love those times too!
