One Big Family on One Big Ship
Briefly

Traveling to 4 countries in a group of 20 people-including 4 toddlers, 6 young kids under 10 years old, 2 grandparents, 3 adult siblings and their spouses, and 2 (much-needed) babysitters-is a logistical nightmare so intimidating that most families wouldn't even attempt it.
But the most important part of any family vacation, especially one this rare, of this scale, is the ability to spend quality time with one another-made all the easier when you're transported to different cities in your sleep on a ship.
We were so excited as we planned this trip, and as it got closer, I began sharing books with the grandkids about the history and culture of the different places we were going to visit.
It's not the obvious moments of a trip that are the most memorable though, you know? Snapping photos in front of monuments or devouring gelato in Paris... it's the quiet moments, shared laughs, and connecting as a family that truly matter.
