Vacation after baby?

Harata
My and my husband's first child is due mid-May. We are super excited. Every year for the past few years, we have gone on vacation to Cedar Point and a few other amusement parks; my husband seems to think that this year shouldn't be any different. I told him that he is underestimating how difficult the adjustment is going to be. The baby would be about a month or two old if we were to go on vacation, which is about an 8 hour drive one way. What are your thoughts? Should we just settle for a day trip to the beach and skip the our traditional gig or can we totally do this vacation?
