A Mom's Journey

Travel

I've been thinking a lot about travel lately.   I used to do it all the time.  Before I was married, besides the States, I lived in Costa Rica and Ecuador.  While I was there I travelled to Panama, Brazil, and Peru.    My husband was in the Navy and so he saw the world.   After we were married we still travelled quite a bit.  Anytime we had a few days off we went somewhere,  maybe camping in the mountians, exploring back roads, Mexico, LA, San Diego (We lived in Las Vegas at the time so it was easy to get anywhere).   Since we had kids we sort of lost the habit.   I know we started not travelling because as an infant my daughter would scream at the top of her lungs everytime she was in her car seat, immediately giving a headache to anyone in the vacinity.  

I do travel with my kids.  More so than most people I know.  I take them to visit relatives every year ( a 24 hour drive).  I often have to shop in the larger cities which are 2.5 hours away.  And once a year we go to Vegas to visit friends.  

But what I miss is the exploration.  Finding new places.  Learning about the area, the history, etc...  We just simply need to get back in the habit.

I would love to travel, but since having children there is rarely time. When we do, upon arriving home, I feel the need to take a vacation to rest form the vacation!
Maybe someday.

And thank you for the kind words about my finger!
