It was 2 a.m. in Paris, and 7-year-old Ava Bailey-Klugh was wide awake. Jet lag is hard, especially when you\u2019re too\n young to understand why an entire country is sleeping when your circadian clock says it\u2019s time to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s also hard when you\u2019re the parent of said bright-eyed 7-year-old. Ava\u2019s exhausted dad Jon Bailey sat up with\n her in the hotel while the rest of the family slept. Father and daughter marked time together until just before 5 a.m.\n when Bailey escorted his little early bird to the bakery across the street in search of the day\u2019s first batch of pain\n au chocolat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s these one-on-one moments that kept Bailey and his husband, Triton Klugh, braving the perils of traveling abroad\n with children since their daughters \u2014 Ava and Sophia, now 15 and 17 \u2014 were young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you travel long distances with your kids, there\u2019s a lot of focus time,\u201d Klugh says. \u201cYou\u2019re on a plane with\n them, waiting in lines with them, and you have nothing to do but talk and interact. It\u2019s really bonding to get to know\n your kid better and experience new things together. I\u2019ve found that to be really valuable \u2014 you don\u2019t get a lot of\n that during the day-to-day when you\u2019re so distracted by everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This family of four, based in San Diego, has seen the world together from Istanbul to Puerto Vallarta to London.\n Exposing their kids to history and culture \u2014 with plenty of adventure and beachside luxury thrown in \u2014 has been a key\n part of their parenting. \u201cWe wanted to be with them and not leave them at home and do all these things without them,\u201d\n Bailey says. \u201cAfter all, we had worked really hard to become a family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past three years, Bailey and Klugh have been documenting their adventures on a travel blog, 2 Dads With Baggage<\/a>. With the\n help of a Virtual Private Server (VPS)<\/a> from DreamHost, they\u2019ve\n found a reliable home for their site, where they share stories along with travel tips and tricks \u2014 with a focus on\n charting the course for other\n LGBTQ+ families<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting a Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Klugh, family life was always the plan. He loved growing up with his brothers and sisters, so a future with\n children just felt right. \u201cI wanted a family, but being gay, I wasn\u2019t quite sure how I would get there,\u201d Klugh says.\n \u201cI just figured that when I was financially secure, I would do it by myself if I didn\u2019t have a partner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On their second date, as he sat with Bailey on a beach in Coronado, Klugh casually broached a topic that most shy\n away from early in a relationship: children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t scare me,\u201d Bailey remembers. \u201cBut it was not something I ever thought I would do. He brought it up again,\n many times, but he didn\u2019t pressure me; he let me warm up to the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once both were ready to become parents, they started the open adoption process and were told as a same-sex couple to\n expect 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just two months later, they were shocked to get a phone call about an interested birth mother, and two months\n after that, they brought their new baby girl home from the hospital. Soon after Sophia\u2019s first birthday, they talked\n about finding her a sibling \u2014 and because adding Sophia to the family so quickly was a fluke, they started early. This\n time it took only five months. Having two so close in age was definitely a surprise, but a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think any parent would tell you that having two in diapers and two in a stroller is more than double the work,\u201d\n Bailey says. \u201cIt makes you cross-eyed trying to keep an eye on them at the same time, but it was super fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life With Two Dads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, between 2 million and 3.7 million children<\/a> are estimated to have an LGBTQ+ parent with\n 200,000 of them raised by a same-sex couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when Sophia and Ava were little, it was a novelty to see two dads parenting babies. \u201cWe would often get comments:\n \u2018Oh nice, you guys are giving mom a break,\u2019 like we were babysitting or something,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cOr women would say,\n with love, \u2018Do you need help with that?\u2019 assuming that a man wouldn\u2019t know how to change a diaper or give a baby a\n bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of taking offense, Bailey and Klugh gave these people the benefit of the doubt. Most people, they reasoned,\n don\u2019t mean to be insensitive \u2014 they just don\u2019t understand. \u201cWe choose to take it as a teaching moment,\u201d Bailey says.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bailey and Klugh never shied away from telling the girls how their unique family came to be, but soon Sophia and Ava\n were old enough to understand the probing questions from strangers \u2014 and to be teased by other kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the girls were about 8 and 10 years old, \u201cboth of them were having struggles at school with kids who didn\u2019t\n understand that families can be different than the traditional,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cIt made them feel different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Heartfelt Letter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One day, Sophia had enough. So she appealed to the highest authority she could think of \u2014 the President of the United\n States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klugh and Bailey were sitting at their dinner table when Sophia presented them with a letter she had written to\n President Obama. \u201cShe read us this really beautiful, heartfelt letter <\/a>about how kids had teased her for\n having two dads, and it hurt her heart, and how she was happy he was in favor of same-sex marriage,\u201d Bailey says. The\n letter wished Obama luck in his reelection bid, asked him how he would handle the teasing, and ended with an empathic\n request: \u201cPlease respond!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In tears, Bailey snapped a photo of the letter written out in Sophia\u2019s 10-year-old handwriting and posted it to\n Facebook. It went viral in a matter of hours. \u201cIt was like a tidal wave,\u201d Bailey remembers. \u201cWe immediately started\n getting calls from [the] press wanting to do interviews. It was crazy!\u201d Wanting to protect the family\u2019s privacy, they\n said no to every interview request \u2014 although a reporter did pass along an address that would get Sophia\u2019s letter\n directly to President Obama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sent it, and soon \u201ca special delivery letter that I had to sign for was delivered to the front door,\u201d Bailey\n says. \u201cIt was a personal response from President Obama; beautiful that he took the time to do that.\u201d That letter too\n went viral, feeding the spotlight already shining on the family. The attention was overwhelming but also \u201caffirming\n and amazing,\u201d Bailey says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After things had died down a bit, they agreed to appear on The Katie Couric show <\/a>to express support for the Supreme Court case\n that ultimately made it legal for Bailey and Klugh to marry. That TV appearance was followed by an invitation to\n attend the White House\u2019s annual Easter Egg Roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe went to Washington, D.C. for about a week as guests of the White House; it was great because the girls were\n starting to understand the significance of all of this,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cWe went to the Supreme Court building and stood\n on the steps, and I was able to tell Sophia that her letter was being read on the floor and that it was influencing\n their decision. It kind of made it all full circle for her to see how this mattered; that this 10-year-old wrote\n something that became really important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Mentorship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before unintentionally becoming a poster family for same-sex parenting, the Bailey-Klughs were already bona fide\n world travelers. Their first big international flight together came on a trip to the European classics \u2014 London and\n Paris \u2014 when Ava was 4 and Sophia was 6 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were very intrepid little travelers,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cWe made it all in one piece, and they took everything in\n stride.\u201d It all came together for Bailey when the family stood atop the Eiffel Tower, catching snowflakes \u2014 a rare\n sight in Paris \u2014 on their tongues. \u201cIt was beautiful and surreal,\u201d he remembers. \u201cAfterward, we had a snowball fight\n in front of Notre Dame.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sophia

They kept traveling, hitting family-favorite destinations in Hawaii, Mexico, Italy, and Costa Rica. Bailey and Klugh\n soon got questions from friends, both gay and straight, about how to travel with kids and ideas for family-friendly\n activities at various destinations. Bailey, who had already started blogging about their experience with Sophia\u2019s\n viral letter, gradually started shifting to writing about their family travels. Bailey and Klugh soon used their blog\n as a platform to encourage other families to travel, especially ones that looked a little different than the\n traditional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a very large interest in families like ours finding places to go where we are welcome around the world,\u201d\n Bailey says. \u201cLGBT family travel experiences really resonated with people. There\u2019s a lot of families who have kids\n younger than ours and don\u2019t quite know how to navigate everything, so we also share stories about parenting our\n kids. It\u2019s been kind of like a digital mentorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The blog gained traction quickly, both building a wide readership and attracting sponsors. \u201cBrands recognized that we\n have a voice and a connection to an audience that they want to talk to.\u201d These interested brands opened the door to\n even more family travel, including a 2017 road trip to the Grand Canyon<\/a> in a Kia Sorento \u2014 because, as Bailey\n put it, \u201cGays do not RV.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blog has also been a great creative outlet outside their day jobs. Bailey works in public relations and Klugh in\n graphic design \u2014 specifically, in the Halloween costume industry (yes, the girls were always kept well-supplied with\n princess costumes). So Bailey writes the posts and plans the content, while Klugh is in charge of the visuals: design,\n pictures, and video. \u201cOur blog is very visual,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cWe are very visual people, and the stories we have to\n tell require a lot of photos and video so the website was designed with that in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ve used DreamHost for their hosting since the beginning, now using VPS Hosting<\/a> to keep up with the web traffic. \u201cI\n think it was the most reliable resource; it came highly recommended by my most trusted advisors,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cIt\n sort of happens behind the scenes, which is nice because I don\u2019t have to worry about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, he\u2019s been experimenting with the WordPress plugin<\/a> Mapify to create a\n visual archive of their photos and adventures. \u201cWe are in the process of outfitting a map of the world with all the\n places we\u2019ve visited, so if people want to learn about a destination, they can just click on the map to see pictures\n and blog posts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Traveling While Gay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite their website\u2019s success, traveling as a non-traditional family hasn\u2019t always been easy. When Sophia was about\n a year old, her dads took her along to Cabo San Lucas, in the days before passports were needed to enter Mexico.\n After a wonderful trip, the three settled down for the return flight and waited for take-off. And waited. And waited.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, armed Mexican Federal Police officers <\/em>burst onto the plane and removed them from the flight.\n They found their luggage strewn across the tarmac and were shepherded to an interrogation room. Both Sophia and Ava\n are Latina; \u201cThey thought we were trying to smuggle a child out of Mexico,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cIt was scary and insulting.\u201d\n Luckily, they had the paperwork to prove they were Sophia\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family\u2019s No. 1 tip for LGBTQ+ families traveling abroad? Bring your papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard of other families having issues where people didn\u2019t understand that two men or two women can be the\n parents of children,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think an experience like ours would happen in today\u2019s world \u2014 that was\n 16 years ago, and Mexico has come a long way; the world has come a long way.\u201d You never know though, he adds, if\n you\u2019ll cross a flight attendant, customs agent, or pilot who doesn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish it wasn\u2019t the case, but it still is; some people are not comfortable with families like ours,\u201d Bailey says.\n \u201cAnd we\u2019ve never in all our travels had anyone overtly say something to us or do anything to us that was violent or\n insulting, but we can tell when people don\u2019t approve by the look on their faces or the way they interact with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also recommends that same-sex parents do their research before picking a destination for family travel \u2014 in\n general, avoid Middle Eastern countries, where homosexuality is often illegal \u2014 and look for a more liberal\n neighborhood to stay in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThings are improving around the world,\u201d Bailey says. He feels like they have been pioneers, increasing exposure to\n non-traditional families. \u201cI feel good about being a part of that, just being visible and showing people that we are\n just like anybody else, just here parenting kids, doing our thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising Globetrotters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Klugh and Bailey are getting ready to send their teenage daughters out into the world as they graduate from high\n school in the next few years. They believe traveling has brought them closer as a family and exposed their children to\n different ways of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world is a giant place, and there\u2019s many different kinds of people and all shapes and sizes and cultures and\n languages,\u201d Bailey says. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening here in San Diego or California or the United States is just a slice of the\n bigger picture. We very much wanted to raise our daughters as citizens of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving them the chance to help plan trips, get around foreign countries (both girls are bilingual and happily help\n their dads navigate in Mexico), and experience the logistics of travel has helped Bailey and Klugh raise a pair of\n confident, well-adjusted kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTravel gives them a sense of empowerment,\u201d Klugh says. \u201cI want them to be familiar with travel, to know they can do\n it, and not be afraid of it. The other day Sophia was talking about wanting to fly somewhere by herself, and she was\n confident about traveling and not afraid to go to new places. It\u2019s inspired that wanderlust in them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
