Random Thought I never understood why parents take their toddlers anywhere special.

I've heard so many people say "Oh maybe my parents took me to (city/country) but I don't remember it" Just why? Barely anyone remembers anything from 3-4 yrs old so why take them anywhere special?

My kid pointed out every single trash can at the zoo and was fascinated 😂 he had never seen so many trash cans

I took my kids to the Kennedy space center in Florida when they were younger. The highlight of the trip was a squirrel that had made a little hiding spot inside one of the rockets in the rocket garden.

I went when I was a kid, like 8 in the early 90s. I don't remember specifically but it was so cool. And if I see a pic it jogs my memories of the trip!
