With my D, all 7 of us, plus the 2 dog and the cat, piled into the RV for the 6 hour drive upstate. We had a blast although we didn’t do any extra vacationing at either end. The next year, it was just H and I with the oldest and youngest boys. The year after that, she had worked at school over the summer and was an RA, so she had very little stuff and took Amtrak up. In her 4th year, middle son joined her at school, so it was back in the RV. For her 5th and last year (she was in a 5 year bachelor’s-master’s program), we gave her a car and they drove together. After that, my other sons drove him up.

When S17 went to school this year, my 2 oldest sons and a friend of theirs “road tripped” him up to school. He had a blast.

I sometimes think that there is something wrong with me because I didn’t cry when dropping my kids off. Actually, when we got home from dropping D off, I sobbed tears of happiness because my D was away at college, something tha was denied to me. I missed her, but I was SO happy to have been able to give her and two of my boys that opportunity.
