Why would you travel with your kids?!

If you’ve ever taken your kids on a big trip with you, you’ve probably had at least one family member or friend look at you in shock and ask “WHY WOULD YOU TRAVEL WITH YOUR KIDS?!?”

why would you travel with your kids

For travelers, it seems obvious. Of course we’d travel with the kids. It’s wonderful way for them to grow and us to bond together as a family, kids are great travelers and there’s NOTHING like seeing the world as a family.

I reached out on our Facebook page and twitter to see why YOU travel with your kids, and we got some great responses. Here are some great reasons to travel with your kids!

Traveling with our son is a great way to give him the interactive education as homeschoolers. We don’t just show him pictures in a book, we let him visit places like Yellowstone National Park, The Grand Canyon, and even Civil War battlefields so he can understand exactly what he is learning about in class. – Katie Hale  from You Brew My Tea

My husband does a lot of traveling for his job, so if we did not go with him on some of his trips we would miss out on valuable family time. – Sarah Nichols from Simple Life Abundant

We’re travelers by nature, and decided before having kids that we’d continue our global exploration, as a family. It makes revisiting familiar places a new adventure, because now we’re seeing it though the kids’ eyes. It builds us as a family, and as a couple. – Lavende Capelle

Building fun memories together! My twins are entering high school, and the time has flown by … you have so much less time than you think! – Shelley Fulton from Two Healthy Kitchens 

opening their eyes to new experiences and spending quality time as a family – @tinboxtraveler

It’s hard to be prejudiced about any people group when you’ve gone and visited so many and seen new cultures, and learned to embrace the beauty in our differences and that’s how I want my kids to be raised. – @travelfamblog

    While there are definitely times I need some space away from my kids and yearn for some alone time with my husband, for the most part I really LIKE my kids and WANT to have them with me. If I do something fun without them I usually end up thinking “Wow, Andrew would LOVE this.” or “Benjamin would be so hilarious doing this with me.” So taking them with me while I travel, even though they’re little and require (sometime several) extra baggage (I used to travel light – I promise!) it’s always worth it to do the fun thing and go to the fun place WITH them.

    Now that sounds great Mel! I tried to get us to go palnbtaliing but there wasn’t as much support as there was for go-karting. The rain was great, we were sliding all over the place!
