I can't get past the fact that you took a 2 and 4 year old on this trip!! Surely you don't expect them to absorb" the culture! Isn't this what Grammy and Grampy are for?? They wanted snacks and entertainment and activity ... imagine that. That paragraph stopped me from taking seriously anything you write.

Eileen, I'm not blaming my kids for wanting snacks, entertainment and what not, just describing the scene as it happened. It's one thing to be on a 4 hr car trip and quite another to be on one with complaining children. Leaving our kids with grandparents isn't an option for us. Are you free to babysit? Maybe next time we'll drop them off at your house! Also, I don't think we are the first parents in history to bring children on a 4 hour round trip car ride. I do not expect them to absorb the culture. Thanks for reading!
