I'm a 23-24 hour drive away, if I only lived 8 hours away.......well, lets just say you're a lucky dog!! Go for it, enjoy while you can, life's waaaaay to short to sweat the small stuff, and this addiction is basically harmless, well except to your wallet, lol, but go for it!!! Besides, you can't put a price on the family time.....all too soon your daughter will be off to college and you'll wonder where the time went and wish you'd spent more time with her.....JUST GO!
