[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I love to travel.  Every chance we have we hop on a plane, boat or car. Having 3 kids has not stopped us and they have all been all over since they were infants. 
The way we see it, it is about experiences and exposure and having an awesome time seeing different people and things and trying new foods and new stuff and not so much as "being able to remember" when they grow up or understanding the "significance" of a place. 
Yes, it does get easier in the logistics sense as they grow. It is so much easier to carry a small booster than a full carseat or what a breeze to travel sans stroller for the first time in 14 years last Christmas.  But the kids and my husband and I have enjoyed all trips even if the children only remember "snapshots" as a previous poster said.  Or if they remember the pigeons instead of St. Marco, because at 5 a gazillion doves can't compare to a church :) 
It has also been great to tailor the places we go to their age and their interests. We have gone to places we wouldn't have visited as adults if we did not have kids. Like a train museum or a chocolate factory or doing a bike tour of a big city park with a picnic instead of heading to the biggest museum and enjoying 5 star dining. 
Do whatever works for you and have fun!
Happy traveling!
