Welcome back to the L.A. Parent podcast. Our host, Digital Editor and first-time mom Nina Harada just got back from a family weekend getaway to Ojai. Tune in as she shares the not-so-perfect moments traveling with a wonderful, spirited 3-year-old. As parents we've learned that traveling with young kids is not always a "vacation." But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it for what it is -- an opportunity to make family memories. Yes, there will be spilled food, tantrums and pure exhaustion. And there will be laughter, fun and the joy of knowing that you're sharing this new experience together as a family. 

In parenting and in life, there is so much that's out of our control. So why not lean into the adventure of it all. 

Thanks for joining us. We love connecting with you in this space -- a place to be seen, to be heard and to be cheered on.
