[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A beach week is something that the attendees will probably remember the rest of their lives.  A few hours at an open house, not so much. If I were in your daughter's shoes I would have made lemonade out of lemons by cancelling the open house and going to the beach. It would be better than both missing out on the trip and being resentful that her friends didn't do the same. [/quote]

I'm OP and I agree. I think she should have gone with friends and then driven back for the grad party for a few hours, then back to the beach. I only learned of all the friends being at the beach during the party, "Oh, lot of my friends aren't coming, they decided to go to the beach." She has her own car and we would have let her drive back and forth.[/quote]

You want her to spend an entire day of beach house weekend, commuting back and forth from the DC area?  Isn't this her milestone celebrate as she chooses?[/quote]

Grad party was 1pm-5pm Saturday. So she kills 1 of 4 days of beach weekend driving. I think that's far better than missing out on entire beach weekend.[/quote]

She has to leave the beach house at 10, drive for three hours to the party, attend the party from 1-5pm, then drive 3 hours back through beach traffic, arriving there around 8pm assuming no traffic jams.  That doesn't sound like something I would want to do.[/quote]

Duh of course not bc you are old but at 18 I would have done this without a second thought. She is probably not willing to do it bc she is having an allergic or nothing attitude.[/quote]
