You definitely made the right choice. Looking at it from the other side, with both my kids in their 20s and out of my house/hair, I don't miss any of the rides I might have taken instead of going to all those stupid effin soccer games/matches/tourneys/expositions/whatever the heck you call 'em. Helping them do stuff they loved meant a lot more than messing around with bicycles.

And, FWIW, if you live within driving distance of Hartford, you wouldn't have seen much more at NAHBS than you can, every year, at the Philly show. It's not like you have wait another 3-5yrs for the circus to come back to town.
