There is something about the mind set of life-long Kenoshans that believe Racine (especially North Racine) is really really far away. I may as well live in Kuwait. We moved back to Racine from San Diego so that our parents could be close to our kids for a while before we had to venture to the opposite coast. They barely see them. Really. If I don't make a point to drive down there, my dad especially, doesn't see them. After all, Racine is REALLY far away from Kenosha. ;) It's like they really have to set aside a huge block of time to come up here. Plan vacation time, arrange a dog sitter, cancel the cable...etc. I complain/tease them all the time. More so tease lately, I mean....what am I going to do? We're leaving next July anyway.
What is up with that ? Is it because I lived in a Metro city after high school, that I no longer think that Racine is a foreign country when living in Kenosha ? My parents and I think my grandparents too, still operate on that "understanding."
Anyway, when the family does make it up, Wyatt is on cloud nine. He loves his grandparents.
So yep, its a huge deal my mum is coming ALL THE WAY up from KENOSHA. :) Applaud for my mum, she took the day off and everything to make this huge drive.
(I'm kidding! You know I love you mum!)
