Where does he live? 700 miles sounds like a lot,how many hours does that take you? My parents lived half an hour from each other when they got divorced, so it was much easier. If they had lived that far away they would have flown us, or not done it at all, although I realize that would be difficult with Nigel. Now they live on opposite sides of the country but we're older so it is a moot point. Hope you have a good week! Aww. How often do you do that? Where does he live?

Their dad lives in LA, and I live just over the Calif./Ore. border , so we meet up at a junction in central California to do the swap, approx. 350 miles one-way for both of us. Then we eat lunch, turn around, and drive back! It's a long haul, but worth it for the boys' sake. Hi Jess – we actually split the drive.
