Smile "Moments we cherish forever"!

I've so delighted to see all the other families on this thread traveling with their children.
I agree with so much of what I've read but I just wanted to add a thought for you all.
Life is really all about the moments we live and cherish in our heart forever. Why does is matter whether a child will remember certain experiences or "moments" of their life? Is their "moment" not worth $$$ unless they can remember it for the rest of their life? I have had so many wonderful memories & "moments" with my children traveling and adventuring around that they themselves might not remember because of their age but none the less they enjoyed that "moment" to the fullest!

Just a thought to ponder when making a $$$ decision on whether to travel or even whether to take them anywhere. Live today for today because tomorrow might not be there for them (sadly some children die at a very young age) or you. Think if you only had this month or this year, would you wait to say........take them to Disney because they couldn't appreciate it or remember it enough. I doubt it!

Well......just my two sense. I'm just like everyone else.......family of 4 trying to save up enough point/miles every year to do something really special with my family.
Have fun everyone!!!
