Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner put their superior co-parenting skills on display this week.

The Argo actor, 51, took their son Samuel, 11, to school while the Alias alum, also 51, enjoyed some alone time while she grabbed coffee in Santa Monica.

 

Ben wore a beige and blue print, zip-front sweater over a white t-shirt with jeans and topped it off with a maroon jacket. He also wore Nike Jumpman sneakers.

Jen looked comfy in a pink hoodie and matching sweatpants with black Ugg boots.

The 13 Going On 30 actress wore her brown hair in a low ponytail and carried two small cups of coffee in one hand and talked on her cell phone with the other hand.

The former couple also share daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15.

The busy working mom admitted she loves to travel but hates being away from her kids.

‘I’m always landing and skating right into a kid’s performance or bedtime,’ she said in an interview with Thrillist.

‘So my biggest fear is delays that could get in the way of making it to something for my kids. But those are part of life,’ she shared.

 

But whenever she can, she includes her kids in her travel plans as she did when she headed to the Pacific Northwest to explore Portland, Oregon.

After Portland, the Family Switch actress and her kids set out to explore Montana.

‘We piled in the car to journey to Montana. Friends, I had no idea what adventure awaited us,’ she began.

‘While our car had all-weather tires, we quickly found out that “all” weather does not include Rocky Mountain winter storms.

‘We found ourselves going through mountain passes during white-out snowstorms,’ the Peppermint star shared.

‘As a parent, I try to remain calm for my kids, but I was petrified. I woke up at 4 am somewhere in rural Idaho so that I could be the first person in line when the Walmart tire center opened.

‘I purchased tire chains and we set off to continue the last leg of our journey,’ she explained.

She continued: ‘Despite the peril of being unprepared for the weather, the mountains remain my favorite place to travel. I find myself going back to the snow, over and over.’
