Where has your toddler been? What trips have you taken? Have they been on a plane, a train, a fairy, a boat? Are they good travelers?


Caleb has been to Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Maryland, Virgina, North Carolina, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and of course Pennsylvania. He has flown a few times and we drove the rest of the times. For the most part Caleb is a happy traveler.

Sophie has flown on 22 different airplanes (& 6 different types (sizes) of aircraft if I'm counting right) she's been on a ferry a few times (Bolivar Peninsula to Galveston) and she's an awesome traveler.

She's been to Oregon (obviously), California, Colorado, Texas, and Louisiana and in November we'll be going to Washington (Seattle) --- She does well in a car too, we drove to Crater Lake and back in one day (2 1/2 hours each way) when my parents came and visited this summer. We're still undecided if we'll be driving or flying to Seattle in November, but if we drive that will be her longest car trip ever

We haven't flown with Aaron (I haven't flown since 2007 actually) but we've driven back and forth to Michigan 3 times since he was born. So he's been to Connecticut (duh), New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. It's a 16 hour trip with Aaron (on a good day) and he's normally happy in his car seat for the first 7 hours. I'll admit to being a "bad" mommy and we turn on the portable DVD player the rest of the time when he's not napping.

This winter we'll be going down to VA to house hunt so we can transfer in May. He'll probably be a better traveler than I will, considering how far along I'll be.

We've traveled quite a bit with N. both plane and car and he's done really well every time. He's been to PA, MI, and OH

Juliana has been to Burlington, VT for my first business trip and we went to Atlanta, GA 4 times. She's been to Rapid City, SD twice. She's been to Orlando, FL once but we're going back next Saturday! Then in November we're going back to FL and going on a cruise so she'll get in her first international destinations (Honduras, Belize, Mexico, and somewhere else I can't remember). All of these have been by plane. She travels really well by plane and not so well by car, so we never go anywhere by car with her if we can help it. The furthest will be having to go from Orlando to Tampa, which takes about 1.5 hours, and I'm not looking forward to that.

While inside of me, she went all over India, but she won't remember that. :-)

Emily has been on several airplanes. She has been in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada, Utah. And since we are military, she will be traveling every four years to live somewhere new.

Ty is an awful traveler He hates the car so bad, there is no way I would attempt to put him in an airplane right now. I told dh no vacations until next year. We have taken just local vacations just within 2 hours of where we live, and that was hard enough with him screaming in the car.

We are seriously planning to go to Hawaii Disneyland next spring though!! Thats just a 5 hour, nonstop flight for us, and we sooooo want to go!! I have already done the Disneyworld, Disneyland trips countless times, so a new one in Hawaii is for us, and Ty shall have to "deal with it"

I had no idea there was a Disneyland in Hawaii!

Tyla, you may be pleasantly surprised. Juliana has always done terribly in the car, but on planes she's so excited about everything that's going on, she's done great. I just make sure to get up and walk the aisles with her when the fasten seat belt sign is off and she talks to everybody and becomes a little diva. When we can't get up at times it's difficult, but overall easier than the car. Lots of toys and distractions is key. A direct flight will be a piece of cake.
