Looks about the same as giving older folks new technology.

She who decides, AKA Mrs Wife, has decided that we're going to Hungary for vacation this year.
My limited knowledge about Hungary comes from a neighbour at my student home with an unpronounceable name but called Greg. I have a feeling that this knowledge is not representable anymore.
So any recommendations for what to do when you have two small children of the ages two and three and a half?

Apparently Gin is popular.
After that it all gets a bit vague...

Personally I have some vague memories of some kind of enamel remover allegedly made from plums by someones grandma.

Ah! So, you ran out of Gin then?

Gin is what you do in Hungary when you don't have the kids tying you down. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Budapest is a beautiful city, it is well worth a visit. I enjoyed also the short trip to Szentendre.
Veni, vidi, vici.

Isn't it two cities?

Actually it's 3 - Buda, Pest and Óbuda.

Well, I've heard of the first two...

Óbuda is literally Old Buda [ó == old]; that little gem I know as I used to live on Ó Utca in the city when I was a bachelor.
Óbuda is the oldest part of the city and was the old Roman settlement. The moved onto the hill, currently Castle District and that area became Buda and the original Buda was renamed Óbuda.
Or something.

Intend to do that, but not for very long with two small kids.

the area around Lake Balaton is supposed to be nice.
I'd rather be phishing!

It is very nice, we holiday there every year.

That's what we're primarily looking at.

I suggest "Tying a Knot In It" lest the Gin and Slivowitz cause you to change the spelling of "two" to "three".

I wouldn't mind another little one. I have just managed to forget how the lack of sleep affects you.

Hedge your bets. Use the grandparent option.
This way, in case its one of those leaky ones, you can return it to its owner.

I don't think there's any call for a "gayest person in the Lounge competition".
