I just really wanted to go to Romania! Chris, having already been there for work a few years ago, did not share my enthusiasm for this project.Why go to Romania with the kids by myself? Ultimately, however, I decided to take the kids and go myself. This year, however, things got a little complicated because my husband needed to go back to the states to visit family that week. I’ve been determined to go in October for some time now because Transylvania plus October equals spooky season perfection. ![]() The basics: I have wanted to visit Romania for years now, but something (coughcoughFUCKINGPANDEMICcoughcough) has always kept us from being able to go. And that, my friends, is how you know that kids are jerks. Naturally, both big kids found this terrible funny. And I had a toddler strapped to me, so I couldn’t even go ON PRINCPLE without risking being unable to coax him back into the damn carrier. My mood.Īnd naturally NO ONE WOULD GO TO THE BATHROOM. But I can say without exaggeration that I was SORELY AGGREVIED. This is perhaps the most aggrieved I’ve ever been by either a deal or a convenient bathroom. Five seconds later, we walk through the gate and there is a bathroom literally steps away. The ticket woman has the kindness/nerve to tell me she wasn’t going to charge me for Fiona, so the ticket price is equal to the cash I’d already had in my pocket before the debit-card dash. We haven’t even walked into our first destination of the day and my Fitbit already records about 8,000 steps. We’ve been technically on the expansive property for more than an hour, but have been forced to turn back twice, first for my debit card (didn’t realize tickets were cash-only until we walked the 100 years from the car to the gate) and then a bathroom (a kid who shall remain nameless but who obstinately refused to use the bathroom the first time we stopped for THAT EXACT PURPOSE until we’d walked that 100 years almost entirely again …. The scene: We are at the entrance gates of gorgeous Peles Castle, our top destination when we (I) first planned on visiting Romania. I can’t recommend visiting Romania in October highly enough! The autumn colors were UNREAL. Our adventures included Brasov, Peles Castle and snow-seeking in Sinaia, DinoPark in Rasnov, Bran Castle and Therme Spa. ![]() Chris wasn’t with us on this trip and we missed him terribly, but we managed to avoid any serious mishaps. In October, I took all three kids to Romania for five days during the Columbus Day holiday.
