Right after BD in March I took both my boys. 3 and 6 on an 8 day cruise that was already planned that H obviously wouldn't go on. It was definitely upsetting at the time but we made the best of it and the boys still talk about the trip regularly and ask to go again. We made great memories the 3 of us and it was really good for all of us mentally too.
Plan things in advance. Figure out (if traveling by plane) how you will manage bags etc. I condensed what I could and my boys were quite helpful.
Your first trip doesn't have to be a big one. Maybe a car trip somewhere not too far to get your feet wet and boost your PMA
