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.

Anyway - my dad and step-mom moved to FL about 5 yrs ago - he lives 3 hours from where we are going to be.

1 - tell him we are coming and then make the 3 hr drive each way to go see him and their new place

2- tell him we are coming and suggest they drive to us - I mean, we drove 13 hours hrs, they can drive 3

3- don't tell him we are coming at all - although he will probably find out anyway

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.

Also - he has been up to MD before and didn't tell me or come visit us (we are 3 hrs from MD)

What would you do?

Oh and we are thinking of doing Disney next year so we could always visit them then
