The world has moved on from the days when families stayed local. Two children now in their 30s one living 3 hours away, the other 1.5 hours. Both married and with professional careers.
If you are fortunate you both have a house with room to stay a few days as a long journey there and back in a day can be tiring. Premier Inn etc is an alternative - done both.
As a parent we try to raise kids to be independent, decent, responsible, free to pursue that which motivates them. Be a support, not a barrier in enabling them to achieve that which they want.
It is also a signal that your life is moving on - children are no longer a constraint. You may have spent 30 years or more working to provide security for yourself and family - now is time to take advantage of the now emerging freedoms.
