fwiw, that's about the same distance we deal with (depending upon who is driving & when).
Last year he actually came back for Labor Day, turned into as much travel time as time here. Not on the to-do list for this year (which I wholeheartedly agree with).
We'll see him next in October I think it is. His frat is doing TWO parents weekends this year (one fall, one spring) so we'll go over for the game vs Arkansas, then it's a month or so til Thanksgiving (and we get a full week or more for that).
