Traveling with a toddler is like A Tale of Two Cities…. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” Haha! No, really, I love traveling with my daughter. Are there challenges? For sure! Public meltdowns aren’t fun for anyone, time differences can be challenging, and pressing pause for nap time can be a downer sometimes.
But it’s 100% worth it all.
My husband and I recently took my daughter on her first cruise to Alaska. We had so much fun with my daughter on this trip. So often people comment “oh she won’t remember the trip”. But you know what? We will remember. We’ll remember all the little moments of experiencing the world through her eyes.
We’ll remember her…
Waking up every morning and saying “I on toot toot boat!”
Playing with the sled dog puppies and giggling when the mama dog licked her face
Running to the balcony to see the other ships go by
Seeing a bear catch a fish and saying “I want another bear!”
The first time she saw a whale
Chasing birds on the deck
Eating ice cream after EVERY meal
She might not remember it but we’ll tell her stories of her first cruise for forever. And certainly she’ll be influenced by all the new foods she ate, people she met, and experiences she had. Traveling with a young kid isn’t always easy, but it’s so worth it.
