πŸ€” So how WAS traveling with Baby V...?


I'm still in the running for the Ultimate Explorer competition, but I'm not currently in 1st in my quarter-finals group – I'd really appreciate your vote each day to help me try and move on to the next round.

Happy Monday, Reader

I knew this would be the case, but somehow it's now September 30th, and time to start planning for the month ahead. I did spend 18 days of September in Alaska, so time was flying for good reasons, but now I'm home and trying to catch up on, well, everything! πŸ˜…

It's a little bit later in the day than I normally email, but I wanted to try and get both of my trip recap posts done from this last two Alaska adventures – unfortunately, I'm still only halfway through the recap from last week's trip... so you only get one!

(I'll share the next one next week.)

If you're keen to read all the details from our Alaska cruise with Baby V, here's the link.

Some general observations:

  • As many of you advise in our pre-baby days, traveling with a little one requires lots of flexibility and patience!
  • Routines and familiarity are also important – we learned quickly how to help try and make the "new" into her "new normal."
  • Baby V is still a champion traveler though, and I couldn't be a much prouder momma of how good she did.
  • Having her naps to give me a break from running around (like I normally do when traveling) was very handy to keep up on all my social media and emails πŸ˜†

I'm excited to keep traveling with Baby V on future adventures – we actually already have a fun Ohio weekend getaway planned for later in October. I'll be sure to share more about that as it approaches and after.

I'll also have my second Alaska trip recap ready by next Monday, so stay tuned for that!

Until then, stay well and safe travels.
