Hello and welcome back to the L.A. Parent podcast, where our host, first-time mom and L.A. Parent Digital Editor Nina Harada talks all things parenting -- the joys, the challenges and all the feelings that come with parenting. 

Nina and her family recently spent 2 weeks in North California visiting with her husband's family. Being away from home and the daily routine is not easy for any of us, especially not easy for a toddler. Join us as Nina shares about her family's adventures, tantrums, meltdowns, cuddles and feeling sad, happy and excited all at the same time. 

How is your summer going so far? We would love to hear about your adventures. And for more inspiration and tips on how to travel safely, visit laparent.com.
