Our travelin' life is warping our boys perspective

At last count the boys have visited over 30 countries in their short lives. Luc is more likely to mention the memories he has of adventures in Paris, Vienna, Dublin, Barcelona, etc. than birthday parties, current animated movies, or other routine kid activities. I, of course, think this is pretty cool, but I'm sure it's not a very big deal to a 4-year-old. This was clearly illustrated to me Monday when he came home from one of his summer camps raving about some new toy one of his friends got recently. He said, "Miles got a new toy at Chuckie Cheese!" I said, "Oh really, Chuckie Cheese huh?" And without skipping a beat he said, "Yeah, that's a country...can we go there?" Luc and Jack are going to have a whole LOT of catching up to do when we move back to the States. I don't think the other little boys are going to be very impressed with their experiences.
