Well...he's gone

We dropped him off yesterday morning at the airport with his group.  He seemed rather indifferent to the fact that his mother was slightly traumatized at sending her baby off to Europe without her.  Darn 17 year old boys LOL. While his excitement level was hard to detect around family, it was clear when he got with his friends that he really was pumped up for this once in a lifetime adventure. Once in a lifetime...cuz his mama ain't footing the bill again for a trip for him :-) We saw him through customs (no beeps!!!) and then left him in the capable hands of his teacher and vice principal. The first leg of their journey was on a small plane. 50 seats. Their group took up 28 of them. I pity the regular folk on the plane LOL

I gave him a book to record events happening (as suggested by his teacher) and advised him to record his expenses as well. I offered him the reward of keeping half of the spending money he returns home with, IF he returns home with money and IF he records his expenses. We shall see how this goes.

As a farewell, we went to the Hunger games Friday night. After three weekends of playing with multiple shows per day, the 6 PM was sold out before we got there. We got some of the last seats for the 7 PM. While they did not remain true to the novel (what movie does), I thought they did a good job of the movie. I'd go see it again :-) DS1 hadn't read the book so DS2 and I had a great discussion on the novel/movie contrast and comparison.

Happy Easter everyone.
