If you are traveling abroad with children, make sure you have the proper documents. Some countries have strict requirements for traveling with minors, including requiring parents to show evidence of their relationship to the child when entering or departing the country. Some also require a notarized consent letter if only one parent is traveling. Review the info page for your destination at travel.state.gov/destination to check the requirements before you go.
