The Perfect Kind of Summer Visitor

Tomorrow afternoon, my nephew Taven will be traveling by himself from Salt Lake City to stay with us in Florida. I don't know who is more excited - me, the mister or Eben. Taven will be staying with us a little over a week and we are already wishing that he was staying longer! We will be spending the entire week sailing, paddleboarding, body-surfing, skimboarding, and visiting our local nature centers.

Since our family left Salt Lake City when Eben was only 6 months old - Eben hasn't been able to spend a lot of time with his cousins, especially one on one. So, this trip will be extra special for him - a bonding trip!

Did you ever travel solo far from home when you were a child? Where did you go? The first time that I ever traveled by plane was on my honeymoon! I think it is super brave of Taven to want to travel solo at such a young age. Have your children ever taken a solo flight? What are your thoughts?
