Before I go


Memorial Day weekend I drove to Georgia (from Northern Indiana) to visit my nephew with my parents, my sister, her husband, her 2 teenage daughters and a Schnauzer. My nephew is in the military and will be re-deploying soon. We had a great time visiting and relaxing. My nephew’s son, who’s 3, was a riot. He kept getting in the dog’s cage.

Before the trip I was a little worried that we’d be at each other’s throats by the end of the trip. Luckily my brother-in-law had the foresight to rent a 15-passenger van which allowed everyone to have their own space. The drive should have only taken 12 hours. Between the dog and my brother-in-law, who has a bad hip, we had to stop every couple of hours. But I’m thankful that we made it without any accidents or arguments (at least not big ones).

Hope everyone else had a great Memorial Day weekend too.

Peace
