Contrailing it to College. The entire Bloviation's family if flying down to D.C. Two will stay and two will empty-nest it back home. We could have rented a Minivan, stuffed it up with suitcases, boxes, and us but I really think flying is the way to go. It's a $400 (renting a van and driving) proposal vs. $1000 (shipping boxes, flying down, and renting a van there) proposal. Would seem like a no-brainer except for the 18 hours the parents who opt to drive spend getting from Massachusetts to D.C. and back vs. two hours round trip in a plane. On top of that, we return with backs intact and 16 extra hours to drink Chardonnay in our flower-filled garden. Now THAT is worth something. Of course I am sure there are many parents who would view the 9 hours in one direction as yet another wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with their kids but I think this family has spent all the quality time we needed together this summer. It was lovely. Really.
