The attached experience is more broad than what I alone felt comfortable with travel-wise. It is about the need to get out of the house and have some return to normalcy with a newborn and a toddler at home, while also trying to keep them as safe as possible. There were so many unknowns about how COVID worked, and so much certainty about the lack of immune systems in newborn babies. This travel story is significant because it reminds me of a season of life that was so incredibly challenging to navigate for a multitude of reasons, which only made little wins like afternoons on the beach so much sweeter.
