[quote=Anonymous]I definitely regret not traveling more before my kids were in school.  So many places we could have gone to during the off season instead of being limited to school breaks. We pulled the kids out some when they were in early elementary, but the older they get, the harder it is for them to catch up. Especially for international trips with longer flights and adjusting to jet lag - the week off for spring break just really is so short to try to go to Europe.

DH and I love to travel and take the kids on international trips because that’s what we like to do, and we want to share those activities with our kids. Not because the kids will have memories or learn anything from the experience. I also love to cook and bake and have been doing that with my kids since they were toddlers. Obviously on a much smaller scale than international travel, but it’s certainly a pain to make pies and pasta with a 2 year old, it would be a lot easier for me to do alone and she won’t remember, but I like the idea that I’m passing down family recipes and creating happy memories for me. Same with travel - I am hoping to instill a love of travel, adventurous eating, flexibility etc…but mostly I want to travel!

4 years are SO much fun, it’s actually a great age to go on a big trip. [/quote]
