I only have one grandchild (so far) and she just turned two.
If they lived in Georgia or California, my wife would have us moving to Georgia or California 
@Sacto Mitch called it. If it weren’t for family, I’d be racing California mountain roads till the end.

Family or business is the only reason any of us are still here.
That's the big reason we're back in Massachusetts - Grandkids. We were all 1,000 miles apart and that is like living on the Moon. You miss out on a lot, so we're back where the action is - Something new every day and we're only a short drive apart.
Our families are located all over the country so there is no geographical center for us. That made the move here from Stanistan much easier. However, I miss the weekly Presidential Parades where rose petals were strewn ahead of the Presidential Limo and women swooned at the sight of his Highness.
Those were the good old days.
We are of the same opinion, you have to try to be close to family somehow.
We buy a lot of airline tickets and bought a house with 6 bedrooms.
Wish that wasn't the case.
SOC gathering at Bob's house next year.
You'll regret having six bedrooms...
Seriously, I feel your pain. Our two grandkids live about six hours away by car, and what with Covid, etc., we haven't seen them much in the last couple of years.
You know, if Panhandle Bob hosted an SOC gathering sometime to coincide with a Car or some other NW-Florida Hot Rod event, Well........ I doubt he would have to ask twice for February or March.
