Family Travel Isn’t Always A Joy
1 08 2007One of my fellow bloggers by the name of Joe (check out his site at www.fatheredfive.com) sent this cute little story my way. Check it out before reading any further.
While I certainly agree with the author that a vacation with the children is not a particularly relaxing experience, I have still have vacations with my family that I would consider to be first class. Would could possibly be better than bonding with your children and spending time with the ones you love?
Personally, I would never compare having my children with me on vacation as being as bad as losing my luggage, experiencing car trouble, or getting a speeding ticket. Are there times when I want to spend time alone with my husband? Certainly! But, I wouldn’t trade those vacation moments with my children for anything in the world.
What are your thoughts on children and vacations?

I don’t have children so I can’t imagine what it would be like traveling with them. My parents when I was growing (and even to this day) always prefer traveling with us kids. I don’t know how I’d feel if I had kids because I think there would times where I would be really excited to explore new things with a kid, and other times I imagine I’d feel limited. For me it’s just pure speculation though.
