"I've traveled a lot with my family, especially when my three oldest sons were young. We've traversed the country north to south and dipped our toes in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We camped in the Adirondacks, skied in New Hampshire, and toured the nation's capital. The boys' favorite memory of our trip to Washington, D.C., was eating a meal at a combined KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut - not the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, or even the Washington Monument."
"Perhaps my greatest travel triumph was organizing a trip to France for myself and my three oldest kids, who were then 7, 4, and 2. I bought the tickets, expedited our passports, got the visas, found accommodations, and even arranged a ride from Charles DeGaulle airport to the 17e arrondissement after a Francophile friend suggested I just hop on the Metro and make my way across the city."
Extensive family travel occurred while the three oldest sons were young, covering coast-to-coast destinations, national parks, skiing, and a visit to Washington, D.C. The children's favorite memory centered on eating at a combined KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut rather than visiting famous monuments. A major logistical achievement involved organizing a trip to France with three young children, securing tickets, passports, visas, lodging, and airport transportation. Concerns about navigating Parisian public transit prompted a focus on absorbing local culture, visiting parks, shopping, and enjoying exceptional food, with moments of delegated responsibility such as a seven-year-old buying the daily baguette while in sight.
