trip plans



when we took our cruise in may, we (both) thought it'd be our last vacation for a few years. really, it will be hard(er) to travel with a toddler and a tiny baby. or so i think. (maybe melissa can confirm or not since she is the expert with traveling with multiple children at close ages.)

we decided (tentatively) to take a southwestern tour after kendal is 1 (so he can be front facing in the car, which will provide more room for the front seat passenger and thus not require such forethought on renting a vehicle). like our anza borrego trip 2 years ago, this one is sure set to be a memorable one.

so far, our plans are to taking a 7 night 8 day trip flying TO albuquerque, touring NM and AZ (and southern CO and UT) and flying back from phoenix. our trip should total about 1100 miles and cover 1 to 3 destinations per day (depending on the distances between) and will cover 6 national parks/monuments. SOOOO exciting! in the next few weeks, i will try to scan some of my old pictures from many of these same places and post them.

  1. I don't necessarily think it is hard to travel with kids... just takes lots of prior planning and thought... and patience... and the ability to change plans as needed... and lots of rest stops. My only thought for you is -- if RKT is 1, you'll be about 6 months preggo. Most airlines make you get notes from your OB for flying after 7 months. May want to start talking that up with the OB...

  2. Great idea if you can make it work to start the kiddies early on loving road trips.

    It's in my BLOOD!
