They're off!

Last night after dinner and a shower, I had the pleasure of escorting my son to his middle school to catch the bus for a long awaited extended weekend trip to the nation's capital. FOUR busloads of hyper charged 8th graders - girls sitting with girls and boys sitting with boys, that's the rule - cameras flashing and parents waving. Ever have one of those moments where you can't WAIT for it to happen and yet you're a bit melancholy when it does? Crazy that a simple trip like this makes you miss the little boy that was...... By the way, mine is the one shying away from the camera. Handsome dude.
