We had a quick trip to the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut and both girls did great! We've went a few times in past years and this year, Olivia was so much more interested! She loved to touch the stingrays (shocked when it actually touched her), see all of the fish, and loved the sea lion show. I wasn't sure how it would go with two kids - let's be honest mamas, it's a trip now, not a vacation. Basically, pack your whole house up, drive a few hours, unpack your entire lives and then head home a day or two later ;) I was so pleasantly surprised by how well it went and we all had a great time!
We stayed overnight and I think Olivia had the most fun in the hotel pool. She would have stayed in for hours if it wasn't almost bedtime. Bedtime was literally the one thing I was dreading about this trip. A different place, no cribs, same room = disaster possibility. Here's where our DockATot saved the night. We requested two double beds (gone are the days of a king all to ourselves) and decided that Olivia would sleep with Rob and Charlotte would sleep next to me for feeding purposes...and because I secretly didn't want to share a bed with an three foot tall octopus who wrestles in her sleep half the night. We have the Deluxe DockATot in Mod Pod and it's the best! It was so perfect to put on the bed next to me, just like a little crib for her. She was safe and secure and it was so much more comfortable for her than a pack 'n play.
DockATot™ is a multi-functional lounging, playing, chilling, resting and snuggling dock you can take anywhere. Every material and detail is carefully micro-managed to ensure the highest quality of breathability, non-toxicity, comfort and convenience.
The Deluxe size is perfect for newborns up until about 36 months, although Olivia loves to lounge in it, as well! DockATot is also offered in a size up for toddlers, the Grand, which would also be perfect for little ones who need a safe, comfortable place to nap or sleep overnight. There are so many designs that I love, especially the dream weaver and silver lining. The DockATot is also great if you are a co-sleeping family. It's definitely one of those must-have items that you wish you had earlier but didn't realize it until you had it! There are so many uses for it, I would recommend it 100% for your child.
Thank you so much, DockATot , for providing us with our own DockATot. As always, all opinions are my own and I love to share my favorite finds with you! XO
