Would I have enough to house, feed and clothe them? Most days I try to do some preparation with my sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren – to help them learn financial concepts and acquire the ability to wisely manage their money.

It was the trip of a lifetime with our extended family (two sons, their spouses and two of our grandchildren). Either take enough clothes to last your trip in the park or hand wash and air dry what you need day by day. We are just back from a road trip from the mid west to Yellowstone National Park and back.

For our 40th wedding anniversary, we chose to take our adult children and our grandchildren on a vacation to Yellowstone National Park. The parents of one of our daughter-in-laws chose to renew their vows on their 40th wedding anniversary. We had fun together and fun separately. Why do folks decide to renew their marriage vows?
