<p>“We never took a vacation out of town until the summer my girl was traveling looking at colleges.”</p>
<p>Do you mean you never took your kids out of town at all? I’m sorry but I just can’t help thinking how many life enriching opportunities you missed with your kids. I am from an immigrant family and we were not middle class when I was growing up. However, several times a year my dad would pile a bunch of camping gear and canned food into our old car and go see places around the country. We mostly went to national parks, but also visited many major cities and national landmarks.</p>
