Bring him along. Are you staying with family or in a hotel? Lots of places allow pets. If there aren't any hotels that do. Try one of those home sharing sites. Like Air BNB. It's always better when traveling to travel with the pets if you can.
here is one 60 a night, allows pet's private suite.. and all that..

Well went to the race last night, I ended up with a 4th place finish out of 10 I think. I made a dumb mistake and it cost me some time.
When I fixed the motor mounts I pulled the carb to clean the floats, set them all the way down and went to set them when i realized the fuel pressure regulator was let pressure go to 12psi and pushing past the floats... so i stopped and ordered a new one. 2 days later it shows up and I put it on never thought about the floats again. After we made our passes and it wouldn't turn up to 4000 rpms and was breaking up bad than I was starving it for fuel where I never set the floats. The rear ines were a 100% down, and front probably wasn't half as high as it needed to be. Oh well atleast that is a simple fix.

This past weekend I took catherine’s Niece to look at a car. She’s been staying with Catherine for the last few weeks, working just down the road at dollar general. Saving up a little every week. First on the list for 1k was a Taurus. This was the Highest priced vehicle we were looking at. It ran and drove and even had an inspection, as well as a straight body and interior. The gentleman was straight forward and honest. Test drive went fine. Everything as stated from what we could tell. I asked her if she wanted it, as everything was in order and how much cash she had on her to pay for it. She told us 800, which I was aware of, and had the rest to cover it.
Oh, while on the test drive Catherine sat in the truck talking to the owner.
He told the niece, 500 is all he wanted. So she now has a 500 dollar car and one hell of a day of actually being an adult. And one that she earned at a crappy job, all on her own. Kinda proud of her for doing it on her own.

Yeah, her's isn't perfect either. Probably going to need a trans valve body in a year or so, some struts, tires, probably engine\emissions stuff. But it runs. It drives, and she did it on her own, no parent help, not a bit. She walked to work, and she saved the money. On her own. That's the key right there. A month or so got her a car. So it gives her an idea, that working hard has it's rewards.
Hopefully she gets that at least.
