Then he has the chance to see you if he wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382976 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:09:42 +0000 yin 2382976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2. With limited time and lots of driving on your part, that makes the most sense. Your dad should be understanding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382947 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 12:45:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2382947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where exactly in FL? Maybe we can help with some ideas or routes to make it less out of the way? </p> <p>I think letting them know is fair because thats the right thing to do and what you would have wanted. If they choose to come see you, great, if not, maybe meet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382772 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:49:50 +0000 Mamaof2 2382772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Yeah I think either meeting 1/2 way or just giving him the option of coming to us makes the most sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382766 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:44:52 +0000 petunia354 2382766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382713 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:15:37 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2382713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 and invite them to come see you and make it clear that your Disney trip next year includes a visit to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382710 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:06:56 +0000 Adira 2382710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2, or like @yoursilverlining: said - see about meeting in the middle for a meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382707 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:03:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2382707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2. That's a lot of driving in a short time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382705 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:02:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2382705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely would not plan to drive an extra 3 hours. So I think I'd do number 2. 3 hours is a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382704 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:02:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 2382704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely tell him you're going - but make it clear how much time you have (or really, don't have!) in FL and that you are going for the bowl game.</p> <p>Is meeting in the middle an option? For a meal? That's what I try to do when I'm visiting somewhere near-ish to family, and I want to make an effort to see them, but also don't really want to make too much of an effort, if you know what I mean! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382702 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:00:08 +0000 yellowbird 2382702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do #2. I definitely would not offer to drive to him after already driving 13 hours </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382699 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 09:58:52 +0000 Greentea 2382699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would n.1, maybe they'll offer n.2? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-16#post-2382691 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 09:56:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2382691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants to go to a bowl game in FL over the holidays - thought it would be fun for us all to go - flights are too $$ so we would drive - 13 hours - not a big deal as we drive 10 hrs to Myrtle Beach every year.</p> <p>Anyway - my dad and step-mom moved to FL about 5 yrs ago - he lives 3 hours from where we are going to be.</p> <p>1 - tell him we are coming and then make the 3 hr drive each way to go see him and their new place</p> <p>2- tell him we are coming and suggest they drive to us - I mean, we drove 13 hours hrs, they can drive 3</p> <p>3- don't tell him we are coming at all - although he will probably find out anyway</p> <p>We haven't seen their place yet and if we were flying I wouldn't mind driving over there - but we only have 3 days in FL (and then 2 days to drive up and back) and I don't want to spend it in the car.</p> <p>Also - he has been up to MD before and didn't tell me or come visit us (we are 3 hrs from MD)</p> <p>What would you do?</p> <p>Oh and we are thinking of doing Disney next year so we could always visit them then </p>
