I love the fact that my youngsters are getting older.
And it’s a immense bonus that we all enjoy doing things together. This wasn’t the case when I was growing up. There were a lot of youngsters & not a lot of money. The home I grew up in didn’t even have any real residential Heating, Ventilation & A/C. There was a wood stove for heating & that was it, then us men slept upstairs & it was brutal in the Summer after the sunshine heated the top of the home all morning. I didn’t see any air conditioner until I got to college. My youngsters have it better than that & we decided that two was our limit. I’m having two youngsters that are pretty close in age has been great when it comes to spontaneous road trips. This is something my wifey & I did before the youngsters came along. We’d sort of trade off on deciding who was leading the adventure & just take off. It’s a little more complicated than that these days but we still rotate who is in charge of leading the adventure. Normally, we like to make a three or four morning weekend out of it. But just getting out of the central air conditioner of our home even for a weekend is worth the effort. My buddy and I generally stick to a rule of no more than a five or six hour drive to our endpoint. My buddy and I also stick to the interstate hotels near whatever attraction we are headed to; Certainly, these type of hotels are more affordable but they come with another crucial factor. My buddy and I have constantly been able to count on consistent air conditioner or heating from the commercial Heating, Ventilation & A/C units inside these hotel rooms. Nothing will ruin a weekend away quicker than awful Heating, Ventilation & A/C.
