I have really enjoyed the Mike Leonard stories on The Today Show this week. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20840448/  He is traveling with his parents, ages 85 and 94, and his children who are in their late 20s or early 30s. 

This is the second series he's covered while traveling around the country with his family.  In the last one they all piled into two RVs for a month!!  This time they are in a van going to his dad's alma mater, to the cemetary where their daughter who died in childbirth in 1944 was buried, and many stops in between.  It's kind of a video journal/"This Is Your Life Show".   It is just so very touching to watch these intimate feelings shared, as well as the mundane. 

However, the main thing that comes across in these stories is the humor which they use in dealing with life's ups and downs.  I love that the grandchildren and now great grandchildren are getting to know their grandparents even better by learning about their life experiences. 

As far as the humorous part, that is the kind of grandparent I want to be!!
