After a wonderful visit to my husband’s family over Easter, we just returned from a family vacation in Toronto/Niagara. For those of you who don’t live in Ontario, that’s about a 4-6 hour drive from Ottawa where I live.
We do this a lot. This was the second time we’ve been to Niagara this year (and it’s undecided if it will be our last). We also go on a lot of day trips and outings.
My kids are road warriors. They know that getting in the car for hours and hours (9 when we travel to my in-laws) that they end up somewhere fun and they are okay with that.
I’ve written about our travels before, including some tips we’ve discovered when hitting the road. I’ve included links below to catch up.
I’ll be adding a new page to this site for more about travelling with kids and places we go to (and ones that you may want to go to!).
Travelling doesn’t have to be exotic to be fun, and quite frankly even though our travels are a little different now with the kids (versus when we were a couple with no kids), it’s well worth it.
Stay tuned for more! Do you travel with your kids?
