We've just returned from a good trip to Pittsburgh. The drive both ways was great. Weather and traffic were great and the kids were fine with their dvds. The drive to Pittsburgh is about 3 1/2 hours from our home so 2 dvds used up the entire drive time. Once we were in Pittsburgh we rushed into the home of a relative and changed into clean clothes to attend my niece's graduation. We attended the graduation and later went to dinner with the graduate and our extended family. At the dinner there was talk of college and money and all things after high school. My niece had done well in high school and dreamed of a film career after college. My husband and I encouraged her at every opportunity and hoped she would apply and attend college. We hosted a BBQ for her the next day and welcomed her into her independence.
Word from the Wise: Say what you want, our children will learn from what we do. My husband and I believe in education so we made the 3 1/2 hour drive with our little ones to reinforce the importance of education for our niece. I plan to "show up" for her at every graduation she has in my lifetime. Education is important.
