Ahhhh, I'm a little embarrassed, but our family always lets each other know if we are going out of town. I know, it's probably silly, but we just think that if something happens we would at least want to know where to begin searching. Funny because our olest will be 38 this year and NOTHING has ever happened, but still.... We let them know when we will be gone also, so it's not just mom and dad needing to hear from them, but them needing to hear from us also.
