    They are a 2 hour drive from us so not extravagant trips. But I am so grateful to my mom for taking my kids with her when she traveled to Europe. Even though she never did anything like that with us, she would invite her grandkids one or two at a time to wherever she was going and her rules were “one bag, you carry it, no whining”. They got to see places I haven’t yet. Very extravagant and I wish she’d taken her own kids on trips like that!

      Oh yeah, I’m not saying my parents were good parents. They would never consider a trip like this for me or my sister. I’m just saying I’m actually glad they didnt.
