BNA - DAY 7.2

Here we go, our day to say good-bye. Kids are still tired from the trip, they wake up around noon time. DC picks them up and come back to hotel with drive-thru lunch which is DC's favourite burger. They let him down though, he repeates 3 times and the girl still gets it wrong. What can we say? Order 3-person meal is a difficult job and preparing it is also another story. However, we won't let it get our way. Kids were planned to go for movie, but they change mind, we go to Boarders bookstore and spend the afternoon there. In the coffee shop, ppl ask Reina about her hairband and she is proud to say "My stepmom did it". (DC tells me later on)
It's our last dinner together and we try to make a peace here. These two monsters won't be nice to each other for hours. Well, it's part of growing up, I guess. Brady is in teen and he wants to be treated as an adult, even he is 12. He is a bit upsad to spend summer in Day Care with Reina. Well, things will be better in a year. He'll be able to stay at home or wherever he wants at 13. Somehow, Reina misses up me as girlfriend (it really gets me). Anyway, before saying good-bye, we love to see kids make up and being nice to each other. They are huging and saying good-night which is really funny to see. But after this, it's the most difficult time on this trip - to say good-bye. DC makes the pinky promise to return asap and we believe we see the taugh teen's tear.
Althought we have different life style, but we love to do another long trip in short term future if it's possible. It's worth it to see their smile. Brady's smile is bigger in the end coz DC gives him the mobile phone, so Reina won't be on the side when he talks to his girlfriend. I don't know if it is right to give him this kind of responsibility so early, but we trust Brady's adjudgement. He is a big boy now... DC promises them that we will take them to Dublin for their 18th birthday. We are very look forward to this event.
