Last week my older son, TJ, called with an interesting request. Before I tell you what the request is, I want to give a little background info that led to the request.
TJ is a sophmore in High School and is fixing to turn 16. His mother moved to Florida 2 years ago taking the boys with her. They have had a good life there and my kids have made many friends.
Well, this summer, July 12 to be exact, my ex is remarrying. To a guy in central Georgia. And in so doing moving my boys again, and this time it falls between TJ's Sophmore and Junior year in High School.
The boys seem to be okay with things and with their mother's plans.
But TJ needs a little something to help him cope with the new changes.
He needs a ROADTRIP!!!!!
From North Carolina to California. Coast to coast.
And I can't say no......
So, come August 1, my car will be headed west.....
TJ, 16 his best friend Travis, 18 and me, 38, but mentally 17
