Replying to Ski Bumming

So I'm moving on to college and of course with that comes talks with the parents of what I want to be, what I want to study and of course the question of what I'm going to do after college. After college, I told them, I plan on going ski bumming for a while. I expected to hear the laugh followed by either they think I'm joking or that I'm going to get a job. Well that wasn't the case suprisingly. As it turns out they are all for it! Get a job at a ski resort for the free tickets, and a job at a resturant for free food and I'm set. The rest of the money just go towards my cheap-ass residence, gas money and equipement. My dad says that he regrets he never got the chance to do something like that when he could and my mom... well... she just goes with the flow. This is sweet! How many people can say that their parents will support their kids in the choice of just bumming around not really mounting to anything and just having fun? I'm one lucky child.
