Jude wants to soak up the rays with his little kiddies!

Jude Law, is really trying to be a devoted dad!  He’s even taking his three kids on a tropical vacation for the holidays!

We caught up with Jude at the Dec. 17  premiere of Sherlock Holmes, where he told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, “I didn’t have a summer holiday because I was on stage [starring in Hamlet on Broadway] so I’m taking the kids away on the 26th somewhere hot!”

But it’s a toss up for where he will take his kids — Rafferty, 13, Iris, 9, and Rudy, 7. “I love Morocco. I love South America and India.”    Hey Jude, can you pack us in your suitcase?  —Chloe Melas
