Going out with Kids

As many of you know, my husband and I have traveled quite extensively with our child. It’s not that we pick up and go every month, but we have traveled quite far and for long amounts of time with him. We also have always taken him out with us almost everywhere. He is now two and a half and this seems to be the last time we will be going on any vacation with him for a while. It is a very hard age to travel with, in my opinion. It’s a very hard age, period. I will have to post more later, but I just wanted to start off the conversation. What are some things you do to keep your kids and yourself sane while going out? It doesn’t have to be traveling, but even just going to a restaurant or the grocery store. Any funny or embarrassing stories to share?
