Three years on

This was three years ago. Our first trip to Madrid in the winter with Elisa. It feels like more time has passed and yet, sometimes it feels like yesterday. Elisa was almost 18 months--the same age as Carolina is now. We were still figuring out how to adjust to traveling with a child and how to enjoy ourselves in the midst of all the unknowns. So much of parenting is about routine. But what I learned by traveling with Elisa was that sometimes it's good to be thrown for a loop. It helps you see what is essential and what you can do without. I'm glad both of my girls have the opportunity to travel as much as they do. I hope they never stop.
