Just don't count on your kids remembering anything, OP.

I traveled extensively with my parents all my life and only have solid memories starting at around 10. Same for my kids.

Our families live in Europe and Asia so we go anyway regardless of our kids' ages, but don't expect your kids do get much out of it when they're young.

A lot of parents (myself included) think it’s good to expose your kids to travel and take them places as it does help with adaptability and whatnot. But yes, you can’t delude yourself that they’ll remember it much unless they’re 8 or older and they don’t necessarily become like, better people because their parents had them on a plane or in a French park at age 2. I traveled a lot as a kid and I barely remember anything about the Disney trip we took when I was 10. Solid memories about trips for me don’t really start until I think to when I was around 11/12. Doesn’t mean it isn’t still worthwhile to do it, just be realistic about what the kids actually get out of it (not much) compared to you (still enjoying travel when kids come along, so quite a bit).
