It is unbelievably late and I am still awake! Here is where I take a departure from the idea of Traveling with Kids.
Right now, I’d actually like to be on a beach . By myself. No husband, no kids, no responsibilities. All I’d like is my bathing suit, my phone and my computer.
As much as I love taking my kids to new places, there are times when a mom just needs to be a woman and nothing else. I feel like men get to lose the “father” branding a lot easier than women get to lose the “mom” branding.
My husband’s current trip, a 5-week training course on the other side of the country, stifles any possibility of me having that much-needed Me-time. It’s times like these where I daydream about being alone on that warm, tropical beach up above. In Belize. In solitude. I’d probably still write about how and where I travel with my kids. I just wouldn’t be doing it at that particular time. Hey, everybody needs a minute. Especially moms!
I’m having a learning moment here: Parents can’t truly appreciate traveling with their kids unless they get some time to travel with just themselves.
