Traveling with a toddler

Here's the thing about traveling with a toddler, or at least my toddler. When it's 5:30 in the morning and you have a 12 hour drive ahead of you, their excitment extends way beyond your own...














However, if you have a child like mine, it is not difficult to quickly remind yourself how fortunate this is and bask in it with him.
















Still, if you are hesitant, here are some tricks we have found for successful travel:



1. Allow foods that your normally restrict, such as little donuts.















2. Take the time to enjoy some music together















3. Absolutely bring a blanket to cuddle up with
















4. And finally, if available, always travel with a grandma to make sure that entertainment ensues...(I promise his toes were clean)
