Guilt about family left behind?

I have no problem with others who travel USA for months on end (or years). Neither my wife or I could do this. Our family is close, we enjoy the children and the grandchildren. We enjoy the little league games, school shows, parties, and just hanging out with the family. So for us, no. Six weeks on the road would currently be our limit. Alaska, someday, maybe, probably not.
Again, for those who travel and see the many great sights, I envy you, but travel away from family is not for everyone.
You and your husband will just have to work out a happy solution.
Happy Trails.
