Stephanie Carroll Carson, co-owner of Gypsy Circus Cider Company, has many balls in the air. But she and her husband have found traveling with their kids is the most rewarding, exhilarating experience and builds unforgettable memories. 

A recent month-long trip to Ecuador allowed them to explore the country without the pressure that every day had to be phenomenal. Their flexibility paid off when they were able to book a trip two hours before the boat left for the Galapagos and they saved a ton of money on an eight-day first-class cruise. 

Discover why seeing this trip through the eyes of their children was the most rewarding part of the trip and how they experienced the "fly by the seat of your pants" approach. Maybe traveling with your kids is something to consider for the future. Stephanie is a pro!
