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.

After all, he was learning French in his second-grade class; how could he not handle making this simple purchase? It made sense to me at the time. He was never out of my line of sight, but still, that perhaps was not the best parenting decision I’ve ever made.
