One of the most common reasons I hear people don’t want to travel with kids is that they won’t remember the trip.
I get it, and that’s a good reason to make it free for them before 2, but aside from the fact that waiting for them to be at an age that retains memories would be a really long time, here’s why I like taking them places.
There’s so much power in what you normalize, and the things we consider normal often sink in before we reach the age of keeping memories.
A lot of the things I want to normalize for them: understanding that the world is so much bigger than our corner of it, embracing adventure, and humoring your curiosity are embodied by travel.
And also… two of them can still go for free.
