Newman, just caught up on your situation and see lots of similarities. Not an expert but sounds like you doing well with DB.

Hoping to learn from following your sitch. How do you explain to your kids when you take trips w/o W? I can see something like that playing out over spring break and not quite sure how to handle it.

Thanks.
