<p>I’m very happy. D recently called & told me that since she doesn’t have other commitments, she’s decided she will drive/ride with S & they will go across country (CA to VA/DC) to get him settled for his new job there. She figures it will be one of there last opportunities to bond before both get tied up in their own separate worlds. I think it will be great for both of them & H & I are VERY pleased. :)</p>
<p>That is really nice Himom.
I was thinking it was going to be a roadtrip with you & the kids! since the summer before college a few of Ds friends parents coaxed their kids to take road trips with them.
( i knew that wasn’t going to happen with us- plus our kids always have summer jobs)</p>
<p>Both Ds have expressed interest in going to Outsidelands together- I am thinking of helping them since they rarely have similar schedules & being 8 years apart, generally are quite different in their interests.</p>
<p>I don’t have much in common with either of my sibs, and it was a great disappointment to my mother, although we had never been encouraged to do so.</p>
<p>I think that will be a great experience for your kids- ( although I hope they get excellent gas milage-)
You & your H should be proud.</p>
<p>That sounds wonderful. My kids (rising college senior, college freshman, and hs junior) have been talking all year about wanting to do a road trip together. Not sure if it’ll happen, or what the scope will be, but it is true that there likely aren’t many summers left that they’ll have the time.</p>
<p>if finances are a consideration, it might be fun for them to couchsurf their way across the country. There was just an article about that in the local paper.</p>
