I think you should go to the Bahama's and leave the dirty socks behind.

you know, as much as I dont miss getting up early and getting everyone to school on time, I DO miss the conversations we used to have, when theyre trapped in a car and have no real distractions you can really get into their heads.

I am sure they will be back before you know it! And then you will have to drive back and forth and back and forth.... :D
