So about travelling...

We haven't travelled for some time with Gaia, and anyway, she is changing all the time so it's never the same as before. Now she wants to walk and play more, she sleeps less and she is more and more sure about what she wants and what she definitely doesn't want. All this influences our time en route. Visiting a crowded city becomes a problem. And we dream about going to New York this summer! (if we do, we will probably hang out in the Central Park and I'm actually fine with that idea).
It always suprises me though how blissfully travelling with kids look like on some blogs*. Like this one for example. It seems that those kids never cry, never get sick and are always happy to spend hours in the car or in a plane and don't suffer from a jet lag. Is it really true? Because even if my baby enjoys discovering new places, she gets bored easily, can't stand still and if she misses a nap, she will do a mess in the restaurant so the dinner becomes impossible and we need to leave without finishing it.
Maybe it's not the idea to share such experiences on a blog but somehow seeing those always smiling faces make me rather suspicious...

*These blogs are also very inspiring and encouraging of course. I just, as a mother, look for...more?
