Ah yes, Thanksgiving! Our great American harvest festival. This year we headed down to my sisters for the local west coast family gathering. The morning started out pretty good. I think David slept most of the hight in his bed, so we were fairly well rested. And no one had any colds or flus! Yeaaa! After a lazy morning, we packed into the car, and headed off.
I had checked the traffic maps much of the morning, and it was going smooth, so I wasn't too worried about the holiday drive. But it looks like a lot of other people were thinking the same thing, as after about 10 minutes on the road, the slow down happened. I think it then took us about 40 minutes to go about 10 miles. And with no idea how much longer it was going to continue, it was time for an alternate route. Fortunately, we were right near the perfect exit for just such an excursion, so off we went.
This route was a smaller two lane road, with a few more bumps and twists in it, and after about 40 minutes, Isabelle informed us that she started to feel a little sick. After another 10 minutes or so, we were back on a highway, and zooming along, and Isabelle's belly settled down. The rest of the drive was uneventful. Whew!
Once we arrived at Joan's house, the kids were very happy to see everyone. And of course, everyone's happy to see everyone else too. This Thanksgiving confirmed a long running suspicion I have, there are never enough stove top burners, nor ovens. I think 8 burners are needed, and 3 ovens.
