Oh, how travel has evolved for us after entering the "Adult Kid Era" and we too, have evolved as we've had to intentionally move along with them as the dynamics changed. You know us, always thinking forward 💁Guaranteed, as parents, we have always tried to inspire independent, confident kids but we were never quite prepared for how those kids would turn around and embrace that independence and confidence we realize we were really successful at instilling. (Technically, we only have ourselves to blame right? 🤣)

Listen how we recall how shocked and not quite ready we were to have our boys dictate their travel plans. Plus, we dish on some tips for travel that may come in handy and share some of our travel traditions with you.
