St Louis and AR trip

I'm really looking forward to going to St Louis and AR this weekend. Troy and I are leaving on Friday and coming back on Tuesday. Unfortunately, my parents seem to have a problem with the fact that I'm going on a trip with my boyfriend of 4+ years. So far, I've only talked to mom and she has relayed information to dad. I just don't really want to talk to them at all about it because they are so closed minded. I mean, I don't want them to be mad at me and hold a grudge about it forever like they're doing right now for other things that took place 4 years ago that weren't caused by me at all. It's just so annoying that they don't trust me after doing the right thing for 22 years. I made good grades in school, I graduated from TCU for crying out loud. I have a good job and I'm not a slob at the house. I take care of myself. I just feel like I deserve more trust than they are giving me.

It's probably an issue too because they don't think I should go on a trip like this until I'm married. They're very old-fashioned when it comes to marriage. I just don't see anything inherently wrong with it. Nothing is going to happen that hasn't already happened. My beliefs about that are set and there isn't much anyone can do to change my morals. I just want to have a fun trip with one of my friends. That friend just happens to be my boyfriend.

So basically, I'm just going to continue as planned and hope that they don't try to stop us from going on Friday morning. I don't really plan on bringing it up at all. Part of me feels like I should talk to dad since I haven't actually said anything about it to him, but another part of me just wants to forget it and not worry about it.
