We have a twenty-something daughter who lives in Portland to visit on the way out
Sadly, my 'children', although fairly well behaved (and getting up there in age, I can hardly believe they must be about 11 and 8 now), will not be welcome at most festivities and will have to wait patiently in the car a lot
That's okay--they love adventuresome roadtrips and we will wear them out on the front end of the journey as best we can so they will be grateful for the 'rest'
