I cannot tell from your question if you are divorced yet or not. Absent a court order that says otherwise, you and your ex can take your children wherever you please. However, if you are going to have to fight over custody in court, your actions now will be examined very closely. You should consult with an attorney about the facts of your case as there are several factors that are looked at when dealing with custody.
