Traveled to South Carolina to visit my son and his family. Done right it is a 14 hour trip without major incident. Took a bit longer on the way down because of traffic delays. I am not the driver because I actually don't drive. Rich is stuck with the job of getting us places which bothers me a bit but I am his helpmate on the trip. Sometimes though I want to yell at him for getting so impatient and sometimes I get scared because as a passenger you have no control. All of those big trucks are very intimidating and when there is construction it is far worse. Still I think we make a pretty good team. It was so nice to see Daniel and Mikayla and my grandbabies. We had three days of doing stuff together which was great and exhausting at the same time. It was so much better when they lived here but I understand that they have to live their own lives. I am thankful that they aren't across the country because I pretty much would never see them. Still even a 14 hour trip is so long and costs are so high that I have to accept that visits won't be frequent. Even typing that made me sad but it is what it is. So I will send them my long distance love. Text and call and facetime once in awhile will have to suffice. Still the kiddos are hard to talk to long distance because they don't pay attention and why should they. It will have to do until the next trip to get those wonderful feeling hugs that only family can give.
