Part of Itachi cursed his low stamina and weakened chakra reserves. Despite his partner's sharingan, he seemed absolutely unable to copy Itachi's strange ability to move between different worlds at will.

That meant not only did he have to make multiple trips, but he also had to rest in between. It also meant the Hokage spent the first day or so of their family vacation alone at the mountain cabin they'd secured, waiting for the rest of the family to actually arrive.

Fortunately, it wasn't too long before cries of "Papa!!" "I wanna go rock climbing? Can we go rock climbing?!" and "Hurry up, Mama!!" heralded the rest of his little clan's arrival.
