We take the grandkids with us. Full timing 7 years now. They've spent the past 7 yrs traveling the country with us. That said, we only take the two oldest, they're now 15 and 16 but still want to travel. They've visited 42 States and loved every one. Since they live in separate parts of Ca. their summer vacations start at different times. Once they know when their vacation starts they ask where we will be and their parents fly them to the nearest airport. We pick them up and they travel with us until their vacation is over then they either fly back home or their parents come to meet us, spend a week or so depending on where we are and then head home. Nothing beats camping several months with your grandkids. Think of the memories they've taken back to school with them....Dennis
