[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read all the responses. But your kids are so young- you’ve got tons of time! I feel like I haven’t traveled with my kids nearly as much as I wanted (& covid didn’t help), and now my oldest is in high school. So not much time left with everyone living at home. :-(.

However, DH & I still go on trips with our parents (& our kids).

Some suggestions:
-expand your view of what counts as travel… it doesn’t need to be a far flung continent to be interesting & fun. Most people never have the time & money to travel to expensive locations for weeks at a time. Embrace road trips, long weekends, camping, even day trips in addition to longer travel
-your kids don’t need a separate room. Keep things simple & low maintenance. We took our kids on lots of trips as toddlers (including long flights, hours in art museums, etc),  and of course there were hard times, but totally worth it. No second room. Just go- don’t wait until kids are the “perfect” age— no such thing. 
-it’s fine for a young kid to miss some school for travel, so do it now. It gets much harder/impossible as they get into middle & high school. 
-travel as much as you can now & in the next few years — teenagers have sports, activities, school that they often cannot or will not miss for family travel. [/quote]
