I think that I am going to end up doing what most of you have been doing...taking Wes and Maddie with me. It's not that I don't love having them with me. I just find that sometimes it's hard to just relax and enjoy other things when I have them with me because I'm always thinking about them first.
I think I'm going to try and do my best to ease them into traveling so maybe they'll enjoy it too. My boyfriend and I would really love to start camping, so I think we're going to try to get them used to it by first spending a few day trips in a camping setting, then spend one night, then slowly move it up to a couple nights.
I agree with all of you...they love spending time with their parents! Mine would love nothing more than to be with me every minute of every day (and they love a few treats now and then too)
