We'll travel when we want to travel

Last time I flew was to Bellingham, Washington for a fall break/birthday trip. That trip started with me sitting next to a young woman with a toddler girl.

When I offered a second pair of hands while she was trying to get a bottle for her daughter, she said, "you can always tell who has kids because they offer to help. You must know what it's like to travel with a 2 year old"

I wish I did.

When I have children, I'll have to learn how to check our bags. I'll travel with a bag full of snacks, games, and toys instead of books. I'll play games instead of listen to my ipod. Eventually, I'll have conversations instead of silence.

My free-wheeling adventuresome spirit will love showing my children wonderful places.

They may not have blue eyes or my hair

They may not have blue eyes or my hair, but that's okay because they will be mine.

I will love them with everything inside me just as I once loved you
