Tomorrow morning bright and early husband, me, easy child and her boyfriend are piling into the suv and heading for Hilton Head. We use to go every year even before kids, until 2004 when difficult child was 13 and she ran off with some boys at the condo complex and we thought we were going to have to call the South Carolina police to report her missing. It was a horrible vacation, difficult child wanted nothing to do with us and spent her time hanging around boys and other families she met at the pool.
Fast forward seven years later, difficult child is living in a sober house and although it is bittersweet, we are so looking forward to getting away. Seven years without a vacation, without going anywhere with or without difficult child because of her issues. difficult child is doing well, we explained we were going on vacation and wish she could come but hopefully if she is still doing well next year we can have a real family vacation. She was very mature about it.
Hope to drive to Columbia SC and spend the night and on to Hilton Head Monday morning. Will be back next Saturday night.
