Take them because if they go with you once, sooner or later, they will want to go with you again

Our oldest, who is now a junior in college, started with me when he was 11. He took a couple of those late teen years off because he was "busy".

Last year, he invited a college roomie from the east coast & a couple of highschool buddies to tag along.

This summer, he has a waiting list of guys wanting in!

The things you can teach & show your children on a trip are so easily transferable then they can take others.
