Dreams--I've always wanted to go cross country seeing the sights and staying at different places/some camping. Don't feel brave enough to do this one my own w boys, and definitely want to share this adventure w someone.
This is great fun, you definitely should plan trips for the summer. I'd start with long day trips. Then you can get a tent, try it at home and as a next step during a weekend trip for one night. I bet your sons would love it and they are old enough to be more of a support than a burden.

BTW- I have decided to get a kitten for my boys for VDay! S11 LOVES cats! I think a family pet (other than our 2 guinea pigs) will be a nice diversion from H's absence. Something to give unconditional love to.
I fully support this idea, too. We had a cat when I was young, it stayed with us for 18 years. It really was a family member and we always took it/her along during holiday trips.
