Today is Memorial Day, which means it’s officially summer, the season of family travel plans. Which — as we all know — becomes extremely complicated once you have kids. You’re always juggling somebody’s nap, or toting 37 pounds of snacks, or physically carrying an exhausted child through the last two miles of an amusement park.
Are you waiting for the ideal stage to travel with your kids? Well, Jessica G. Hartshorn has some bad news. She’s traveled all over with her kids for years, and “Nothing broke me, that is, until my teens, according to popular myth ‘old enough to appreciate’ travel, were absolute and total brats on an amazing trip to Europe.” It’s not an argument against traveling — just a case for throwing up your hands and accepting the chaos.
