Our Christmas and New Year 2017
We had a whirlwind driving trip over the Christmas break, driving up from Houston to NE Dallas area to pick up our Aunt Doris (sister to Bob's mom). That's a 5 hour drive for us, then on to NJ from there - 1500 miles over 2 days. Each way, then our trip back to Houston area. I'm getting too old to handle these get there as fast as you can trips... but then again it would have been 8 travel days instead of 6 if we added one day on each end. That's exhausting too. Aunt Doris had not seen Mom since 2011, travel is difficult for her now. Happy she agreed to go with us driving, flying was not an option. The town my husband grew up in is so quaint. I love it there and would have always considered moving there. I understand his reasons on why he did not want to work there, 2 hour commutes/traffic added to your work day is not fun. But when you can stay in the community, oh my gosh...
