traveling with kids

We just got back from my husband’s side of the family reunion in Vernonia Oregon. I wasn’t sure how it was going to be traveling with a 7 month old and a five year old. I made sure my 5 yr old had a backpack full of things to do. Color books, crayons, Nintendo DS and an Ipod with movies on it.  I put all my important purse items like wallet, cell phone and GPS in my diaper bag so as to illiminate another bag to carry. I love that I can take the stroller all the way to the boarding gate and then they put it right on the plane for me.  Both kids were really good on the plane. The baby slept most of the way both ways. I didnt even give him anything, no benadryl or tylonol. I guess I am just blessed with a really easy going baby! Luke was the same way when he was a baby. Guess they will get their revenge on me when they are teenagers…Good thing thats not for a few years!  In a few weeks we are driving out to Utah to visit my husband on his job site so we will see how they do in the car. I may try to drive a good portion of it at night so they can sleep most of the way.  I love my boys!

    Cool kids you have. Sometimes bringing children is a worrisome when you know that some of your kids have problem in long travels like sea-sickness. You are lucky in bringing your kids because they don’t vomit or what.
