We've been traveling with our kids since my oldest two were very little, and we didn't stop after we added #3, #4, and finally #5 to the bunch. Unfortunately, we haven't come into a fortune that would enable us to frequently jet seven people off to the Caribbean or book two or three hotel rooms for every night we're on the road.
