zestfiveTeh boy is not going. He's decided that he doesn't want to feel like a third wheel. This is a little frusturating to us because we went out of way to accomodate him. I think he really wanted someone his age to have along and we told him he could take a friend but he never pursued that either. (he told me he was afraid that he wouldn't get along with whoever he invited after two weeks).
He's going to stay with his Dad for a week and then he's going to have to figure out where he's going to go for the next week.
On one hand, it's very frusturating for me to try and figure out all that stuff and I told him that once he makes this decision, there's no changing his mind. I'm surprised that he doesn't want to go.
On the other hand.....
P and I are going on a two week trip alone. We won't have to accomodate the boy and now we can do all adult things and not have to consider the boy. We can drive long stretches at a time (the boy didn't like long driving). We don't have to worry so much about scheduled meals (the boy did) and etc.
P's now talking that we should check out the Boston area too! Where would you go towards the eastern side of the states if you could? What would you see?
My biggest frusturation would be on the last minute the boy would have to come and all our plans would be shot.

What would I do if I went out east? Gee whiz...I'd probably go to Shenandoah (my gawds, it must be beautiful - but hot - this time of year); I'd try to catch a Red Sox game; I'd go to DC and try to climb up on Abe's knee at the Lincoln Memorial; I'd go to Roanoake Island and see if I could magically figure out what happened to the original colonists; I'd visit the Rock-n-roll Hall of Fame; I'd hike some of the AT; I'd go to Centralia, PA - the whole city is evacuated because of a coal seam fire...it just sounds weird and cool to me; I'd go back to Niagara Falls and take the Queen of the Mists boat (I think that's what it's called); I'd go to a farmer's market in Vermont; I'd peruse an Amish furniture store; I'd watch The Blair Witch Project and immediately afterwards go camping in the Maryland woods and scare the shit out of myself; I'd go to Gettysburg; and so on, and so on.
I really need to travel! Can you tell I've got it bad?

Date: 2007-06-19 08:51 pm (UTC)June 29-July 8 with his dad
July 8-July 9 home alone
July 9-July 11 with g'ma
July 11-July 12 home alone
July 12-July 15 with aunt
For sure we're going to Turtle Island Preserve, Shenandoah Mountains, hiking along the AT some (and we'll get to come up with trail names! GRIN) Harpers Ferry..These were all the things we were going to do with the boy. Now that it's just the two of us, we can sleep in the car at the side of the road, drive 14 hours+ a day and etc.
