We decided to spend Thanksgiving this year with my family on the east coast. We spent last Thanksgiving in Michigan with Chuck’s family so this seemed only fair. I think next year we’ll stay home. It’s exhausting traveling at this time of year! We left on Tuesday hoping to avoid the crowds and delays. I think our day went better than the poor folks who waited until Wednesday to travel. We were delayed out LAX an hour, then another half an hour at O’Hare in Chicago. Amazingly we made it to Pittsburgh almost on time. Even better, our luggage made it, too!
Today we drove from my sister’s house in Pittsburgh to my nephew’s house in Washington, D.C., about a four hour drive. We’re going to spend a couple of days around here, seeing the sights and visiting with yet more family. We packed for cold weather and so far have had none: it was in the 70’s today in D.C., and in the 60’s yesterday in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be colder; thank goodness as we brought very few warm weather clothes! I have gotten to see the tail end of autumn as a lot of trees are still losing their leaves. That’s the season I miss most living in So Cal. We have been taking pictures, and hopefully I’ll get some uploaded tomorrow.
