[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would they be able to handle the flight, and two hour drive by themselves?  I can understand them wanting to visit their grandson in his college town.  I plan on taking my mother to see my son for her 81st birthday next month which will involve me driving two hours to pick her up, then driving two hours to the college town, and reverse on the way back, with me planning and paying for hotel, meals, etc.

I have fond memories of my grandparents who made surprise visits from 2.5 hours away to my college town a number of times.  [/quote]

Flights would be very expensive. They do not want to spend a lot of money. They think the train is too expensive too so mil said she wants us to drive her. Meanwhile that requires us staying over as well and spending for that as well, and possibly their hotel room too, and meals. It's just very awkward spending this much time with them, and the whole money aspect tbh really irritates me because they are very selfish when it comes to family but have zero issue spending when with friends. If it were a two hour trip it'd be fine and just a day trip but this is a lot to contemplate doing just to humor them.[/quote]
