Without the rest of the family around, there are no distractions \u2013 it\u2019s just the two of us for a week or two.<\/p>\n<p>And it goes beyond the quality time that comes from one-on-one meals and excursions. Sometimes we have adventures that couldn\u2019t have taken place with the whole family there. In Amsterdam two years ago my son and I got on the wrong train at the airport and ended up outside of the city. I called a friend who said to take a train to the Sloterdijk Station, where she would pick us up and take us to our hotel. I assumed she would pick us up in her car. Nope! She showed up on a box bike, and she subsequently peddled us through Amsterdam for 20 minutes on a gorgeous Friday night. It was a highlight of the entire summer, and it happened because there were only two of us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18967\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18967\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_150612_0519.jpg\" alt=\"Travel with kids: At the start of our box bike adventure across Amsterdam!\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_150612_0519.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_150612_0519-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_150612_0519-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_150612_0519-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-18967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the start of our box bike adventure across Amsterdam!<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>The Planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While our kids help with all of our family destination and activity planning, on these one-on-one trips they\u2019re 100% in charge.

The flight planning is the fun one, since we bring up Google Maps, look at all routing options, and see what makes the most sense. This is also the part of the process where we add in additional stops, essentially turning one trip into two or three.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18970\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18970\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stoen_151230_0232-2.jpg\" alt=\"Travel with kids: On New Years Eve in a hot air balloon over Chiang Mai, Thailand.
