My son and me have gone through many journeys together over the years. As he’s grown I’ve had to adapt to the challenges a parent faces that sometimes are simple and occasionally seismic. Six years ago I promised an American trip when he reached 18 and well, like all things, that promise needs to be fulfilled. Is this trip all about my son? I don’t think so, if I went without him the experience would definitely be different. It’s a journey like any other, we doing it together. The good, the bad, it’s about how as time races ahead and how we adapt to each other. Thanks for joining us as we head off to our first trip to the states. As the post progresses I hope to get more confident with the design and content.
