I left work at 4:00 last Tuesday and while it usually takes me 2 hours and 40 minutes to get to my parents house, it took me 4 hours because of a lane being closed for no reason. Not a good way to start a trip. The next day – Wednesday – my dad drove us to Illinois. That trip took 8 hours. My parents also took their dog – who ended up being very stinky much of the trip. Too much pork, I suspect.<\/p>\n

We visited with my grandmother much of the extended weekend and had Thanksgiving at the my aunt and uncle’s house. I ended up staying there a few nights since there wasn’t room at grandma’s house. Hung out with my sister and brother in law and several of my cousins. One of my cousins recently had a baby and determined that my sister and I now had the title of FCOR (“F-CORe” first cousin, once removed).<\/p>\n

Turkey dinner was pretty good and for a change of pace, one evening we went out to Ming’s Chinese Buffet. I ate way too much and I think a few of my relatives were impressed.<\/p>\n

My parents headed back on Saturday – I waited and went back on Sunday with my sister and brother-in-law. 6.5 hours there, then chili at my parents house before I got in my car to head back to akron. 3 hours there since I took a longer route to avoid traffic.<\/p>\n

Total time in a car = 21.5 hours. I really dreaded getting into my car this morning to drive to work.<\/p>\n

So, I’m back to work. Looking forward to my swim today and thinking about my Christmas list while I try to get caught up. <\/p>\n

That’s about it for now. I’ll write later about some more details.<\/p>\n
