I’m about 6 hours into an 8 hour bus ride with a bunch of fifth graders. I can definitively answer that I’m smarter than a fifth grader.

To be honest, they really haven’t been that bad. However, I don’t like travelling at all and so 8 hours in a bus of any kind would not fit on my category of fun.

Of course, it’s all worth it since it’s for my son. He’s having a good time and that’s what matters. It’s interesting to watch the interactions on 5th graders. There’s a wide maturity level gap between most of the kids.

Well, here goes. Someone emailed me to have fun on my “vacation”.  I’m not sure I’d classify this as vacation. At least not how I’d plan a vacation on the California shore. However,  we’ll make the most of it and have as much fun as possible.
