Ginna Claire Mason is giving fans a very relatable look at what traveling with kids can actually be like. On Monday, August 10, 2026, Mason shared a video to Instagram documenting her family’s vacation, and while the destination looked absolutely beautiful, the airport portion is what really stood out.
Mason is married to pilot Eric Moffet, and the couple shares two children, Cooper, 5, and Annabelle, 3. So, when Mason shared a glimpse at everything she was carrying while trying to get her family where they needed to go, plenty of parents could probably relate.
Yep, traveling with kids can be an adventure all on its own.
Ginna Claire Mason’s Family Vacation Takes Them to Spain
Mason and her family traveled to Tarifa, Spain, and it sounds like there is plenty for the family to see and do while they’re there, from taking in the scenery to potentially going whale watching.
Of course, her son, Cooper, had his own review of the trip, blurting out a quick, “This is so fun!” Honestly, if a 5-year-old is giving the vacation that kind of review, it seems like things are off to a pretty good start.
Mason also shared another very important part of the family’s trip: “gelato, gelato, gelato 🍨” Yep, apparently gelato is making the list of vacation highlights.
She continued by inviting her followers to follow along with the family’s travels, writing, “Spend a few days with us in this beautiful place! & stay tuned to see where we head next 😍”
It seems like Mason has plenty more to share from the trip, and fans will get to see where the family heads next.
The Travel Day Is Where Things Get Relatable
The beautiful destination is one thing, but getting there with two young children is another story.
Mason explained that the family was flying standby, which can make travel a little unpredictable. Thankfully, the family got on the first flight Mason’s friend Meredith ‘Mei’ Toering had planned for them. But the video still gave fans a glimpse at what happened while everyone was making their way through the airport.
At one point, Mason mentions that she’s “holding a Barbie shoe.” Then her daughter asks her to take something else (hint: it looks like a pack of crayons). The camera eventually pans over to the collection of backpacks Mason is carrying as she explains that she’s “holding all the bags.”
And she’s doing all of this while also holding a coffee.
Let’s be real, that might be the most relatable part of the entire video. Mom is carrying the bags, holding the random Barbie accessory, and apparently still managing to keep her coffee in hand. It seems like Mason has mastered the art of being the person everyone needs when traveling with young kids.
Fans Had Plenty to Say About the Family’s Adventure
Mason’s followers quickly jumped into the comments, with some fans relating to the airport struggle and others simply enjoying watching the family’s trip unfold.
One fan shared a particularly heartfelt response about seeing Mason carrying all of the backpacks.
“If I saw you carrying all those backpacks, I would so have offered to help. Not because you’re a famous beauty queen but because when my daughter was a toddler many people just walked past and watched me struggle!”
Another fan had a very practical question for Mason after seeing everything she was carrying.
“Are you a heavy packer or a light packer? Can you make a video sometime about how you pack for these amazing trips? I go somewhere for a few days and feel like I pack up my whole house with me 🙈😂”
That comment definitely seems to capture the reality of traveling with kids. Somehow, even a short trip can require a seemingly endless number of bags.
Other fans were focused on the family themselves, with one writing:
“Mei is ultimate, you are glowing, pinky up with the coffee, Éric most chill ever, Coop and AB living their best little adventure lives. “This is so fun” ! 😍😍😍😍”
Another noticed the seating arrangement and simply commented, “That seating arrangement. 😂👍”
Someone else turned Mason’s backpack situation into a game, writing, “A game called: how many backpacks can we wear at a time.”
Another fan wrote, “I’m so invested in this surprise trip. What a great memory for your kiddos!”
That last comment really sums up what makes the video so fun. Yes, there are backpacks, airport waits and a Barbie shoe involved, but Mason and her family are also getting to experience something exciting together.
