[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We never saw having babies/toddlers as a reason to stop traveling, so we didn’t stop. We knew they wouldn’t remember, but we enjoyed traveling with them, and we still do (they’re now teen/tween age). [/quote]

This is what it comes down to.  If you the parents want to travel and think you will enjoy travelling with the necessary additional stress and planning and constraints of young children, go for it!  If full-time parenting with all it’s stressors and routines but in a foreign city sounds awful, give it a miss until they’re old enough for everyone to have fun.  The kids will be happy and like (or not like) travelling as adults either way.

I’ve always been a limited planning, just chill and people watch kind of traveller so I don’t mind my trip to Munich being mostly a tour of playgrounds and cafes and maybe 1-2 actual tourist attractions.  It’ll be fun for me and DH and we’ll make it fun for the kids just as we make trips to the pool fun for the kids.  But I don’t think it’s, like, improving for the kids — it’s purely because we’ll have fun.[/quote]
