Were they old to remember it? To fully appreciate it? To deal with the stress of overseas travel? Were my husband and I equipped to deal with the stress of overseas travel with two kids under eight and still make sure everyone had fun? It was one thing for the two of us to travel to a foreign country, how would we navigate with two littles in tow (and one who still liked to be carried when he was tired)?<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">My nervousness fought with the thrill of going back overseas and having my kids experience a wonderful culture and country.

We oohed and ahhed over the gorgeous cherry blossoms and saw people get shoved into their trains bursting at the seams. And, and we did get to Disney, after all\u2013<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tokyodisneyresort.jp\/en\/tdl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tokyo Disney<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Ueno-2Bfamily.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Ueno-2Bfamily-225x300.jpg?resize=238%2C320\" width=\"238\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">We really had a great time (despite a few snags like a horrific hotel the second night and Alex hitting his head on concrete at Disney).
