I'm reconsidering option #1. Bus is running great AND I just checked the weather and there will be a North wind on Friday and a South wind on Sunday. Perfect for driving an underpowered, high profile vehicle southbound to Fredericksburg and back, should have a little push-in-the-rear both ways. If the weather holds I may just throw ALL of my tools in the back, find the most recent AAA "We want you back" letter in my junkmail box and point it down I-35. What could go wrong?
I washed my bus this afternoon for perhaps the 5th time in 22 years - when you all see it you will understand why. I have not met a single one of you lunatics in person yet, so I may be asking a lot of dumb questions when I get there - apologies in advance. I will not be hard to find - I have a beat-up blue and white bus with a fiberglass high roof and I will have two little girls following me around everywhere - it will be their first VW event. See you there!

Just tow it. It would use less gas than driving both. Besides, you
can still drive it all around Fredericksburg when you get there.

I am registered for the classic but am on the fence about actually
going. A six hour drive in an unproven bus with two small
children aboard makes me nervous. Is anyone else leaving from
Dallas on Friday noonish?
My options:
1. Go with kids in the bus
2. Drive the bus, wife follows in the suburban with kids (wife
won't like that idea)
3. Go in bus by myself
4. Load bus on trailer, tow to event to camp with kids (yeah,
lame but better than #5)
5. Don't go, spend weekend working on bus
Hmmm...
