Hey there, travel-loving families! 🌟
I want to share a sweet story from a few years ago when my kids were just 1 and 5 years old. You know how kids can get fixated on the most random things? Well, my big kid was all about balconies that summer. It was such a quirky and adorable obsession! As a preschool director, I had summers off, so I decided to embrace this balcony fascination and plan a little getaway for just the boys and me.
We ended up choosing New Bern, NC, a charming spot with a balcony overlooking a marina and those oh-so-cool egg swing chairs. It was the perfect place for my balcony-loving kid! 🏡🌊
Our days were filled with exploring downtown New Bern, where we took a delightful trolley ride and had a blast at the firefighter museum. But honestly, one of the highlights was just chilling on that balcony, watching the boats go by. It was in those quiet moments that I found a sense of peace and clarity.
One evening, while the boys were engrossed in boat-watching, I had a profound realization: my family felt complete. I loved the simplicity and joy of traveling with my two boys. It was fun, manageable, and full of special moments. I knew then that adding more kids to the mix would mean bringing along a friend or partner to keep things just as enjoyable.
This trip cemented my love for traveling with my kids and the importance of making those memories together. Fast forward to today, and here we are, living the dream and making travel a priority.
So, if you’re ever in doubt about taking that solo trip with your little ones, I say go for it! You never know what beautiful realizations and memories await. Happy travels, everyone! 🚀✨
