I’m thinking of getting metal legs. It’s a risky operation but it’ll be worth it.

We did have extended family on this trip, but she’s so clingy with us because she’s less familiar with them. When we were able to get away from her for 3ish hours one night, it was hard to relax because we just kept looking at the clock.

I identify with this soooo much. I was solo traveling back in 2016 and 2017 and was taking so many pictures. Then I had a kid in 2022, figured I’d get a fancy new 25mm f2 Zeiss as well to start documenting, but my phone has been my main camera these past few years. The saying goes, the best camera is the one that you have on you at the moment.

I appreciate the perspective. Good point about the car as well! I was more just hoping to air some grievances with a toddler who’s been a home body this whole trip. I get it though, you have to meet them where they are. Just needed to vent after being frustrated at my lack of adventure these past few days.
