Just thinking about Louisiana to Maine (or what I was coaxing RG to reveal, the number of days it might take to drive from California to Maine) does make 11 hours feel not so bad...I was hoping she'd like the school that's only 3 hours away.

My family used to drive to Maine every summer! Which was three days!

So even if you were tempted to be a Velcro mom, you couldn't be.
