When my granddaughter, Anika, graduated from 8th grade, I was rather shocked. Not that she had graduated (because she is brilliant, of course), but that she was already old enough to start high school. The proverbial “Where has the time gone?” hit hard. In an attempt to hold on to her a little longer, I decided to give her the gift of travel. Of course, it really was a selfish gift because she would have to travel with me and I would get to spend one-on-one time with her. Clever, I am.
