We’re home. Yahoo! We had a lovely Christmas up in Rochester. There was snow. A lot of snow. I can’t say how grateful I am that we don’t have that kind of snow here…I remember that cold gray stuff, and not fondly. It’s lovely from a window for just about 60 seconds, and then the charm is lost on me.
It was great to spend a few days kicking back, relaxing and eating copious quantities of chocolate. Mr. Dude got to spend quality time with his family, and I got to learn how to play Chinese Checkers.
To be honest, the best part of our trips is generally coming home to our loving feline brigade. Although trips have gotten easier, 8 hours in a car X2 is still a LONG ride, and there’s nothing like having a good time, and COMING HOME.
So I’m grateful for a great trip and that we’re home safe and sound with our snuggle bunnies. Mission accomplished!
