End of an Era

[ssgross]

first thing on my list of to-does with my newfound time is plan a road trip with my son. Gets his permit this summer. I've been dreaming of the experience ever since he was born. I have of course thought up several options over the years, but I'm biting my tongue to give him a chance to come up with something. On thing is for sure...no GPS will be allowed. I'll carry the InReach I use for backwoods hiking for emergencies and so mom can track us. Finding your way, getting lost occasionally, asking a local for directions, is all part of the fun!

That will be great. I love to ride to the summer vacation sites we choose with my kids. One for the trip to the place, another for the trip from there to grandma and one from there to home. Generally, a full day of Moto Guzzi on mountain roads for each one. We all have great memories from those trips.
Then, when I can, I love to take them somewhere else. Last July, my son was through the exams at university, and I had a trip to Israel. For work. Bought him a ticket and we shared three days together… How great that was! I’m planning now to take my youngest daughter to South Africa. Can’t wait for that. The other daughter I took to Nova Scotia, where she’s spending her semester. That is the most valuable time with your kids, together with our yearly skiing week!
Can’t wait for the next opportunity!
