We go there – we explore and dig deep into other cultures. We know you go there too. This new series will feature stories from world travelers; they’ve taken their first flight over seas with little ones, they’ve traveled back to their native country to introduce their children to grandparents, they’ve packed up only their necessities and traveled to developing countries. Here, you will find their stories and learn about how they’re going there too.
We’re so excited to have Sarah Tucker from Fairytales Are True with us today on Studio T! After learning she took her six month old across the great big sea for a family vacation, we were eager to hear how things went. Thanks for sharing a little piece of your trip with us Sarah!
————————————————————————————————
Before his half birthday Tuck had already made his way to four countries. My husband and I lived abroad as newlyweds and that opportunity afforded us many opportunities to travel to places I never imagined I would. When we had our son we wanted to share all of the rich insights and experiences travel gives, and raise a “little citizen of the world”. Fortunately, having a baby did not mean the end to our adventures, just different kind of adventures altogether. Traveling with a baby allows you to see things through their eyes; which are always filled with amazement. It’s true you have to go slow, but it’s a welcomed pace from trying to cram in all the sights all of the time. Most recently this past summer we took off overseas to introduce our baby to our newlywed hometown of Basel, Switzerland. There we visited old friends, introduced him to swiss german, and wandered the cobblestone streets. It was fun taking him to old haunts. Of course no trip to Basel would be complete without getting a cheeseboard at Consum! Surprisingly enough tea at the famous Les Trois Rois (Napolean once stayed here, as did the Rolling Stones) was a great spot with babies. My friend who has also become a new mom, another old friend, and I enjoyed a long leisurely lunch with our babies. We visited markets, smelled swiss peonies, and strolled along Spalenberg which has houses dating back to the 1200’s.
