Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, as some of you might have noticed, I'm on vacation! We went to NJ to see my hubby's dad and stepmom. (I totally love my step-mother-in-law, so it's actually pretty nice to be here.) Anyway, we drove all day yesterday in the rain. That rotten Nor'easter storm. The flooding was horrible through NC and up into VA. They actually closed the road we were on, the one that was supposed to take us to the interstate. So we spent an hour lost and trying to find our way back to the interstate. Then we got a little turned around again later on after getting into NJ. What should have been a 9 hour trip turned into a 13 hour long trip with two kids who weren't very happy. They didn't scream the whole way thankfully, just part of it.

The first stop we made, my husband threw our 3 year old into a puddle. (Okay so he didn't but I like giving him a hard time about it. She actually slipped on the curb and landed face first in the grass in a huge puddle.) Of course it was cold and rainy, and she was soaked, so we had to take her muddy wet clothes off, and she spent the rest of the trip in a t-shirt.

So phase one of vacation trip is over. We'll do it again next week. Hopefully without the rain and flooding.

But the biggest best part about this trip, will be going to NYC and meeting Haedon there! Woohoo! I can't wait. I'm going to go do sufficently stupid touristy things and stand around with my mouth hanging open. I've never been to NYC before. And Hae and I have never met face-to-face (though we talk on the phone and stuff) so this is going to be an extra special trip.

I hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving full of family and friends, and all the things that make life special.
