Long enough to keep them from showing up unexpectedly, short enough to visit whenever we want. A few hours away can be a good thing.

For years they pestered us about grandkids. When we finally had our boys in early 2006 and 2007, my folks pulled up their stakes and moved about 8 hours away. They had the nerve to call me on my birthday last year and complain about never seeing my kids. Yeah, so easy to travel 700 miles round trip with a 2 and 3 year old. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
