I already have a single that I can use. I think I will check out the Halfdome for the girls, if it doesn't look big enough I amy have to shop for a triple.

I am very lucky. My daughter never went throught the phase where she couldn't be seen with me. She has always hiked, biked, sailed, and paddled with her dad.
I hope your daughter will be interested in touring with you at some point in the future.
