Whew. I've finally recovered from 5 days away from my beloved computer. I say this as I sit here petting it like a pet. LOL Seriously, our vacation was actually quite fun.
We left 2 1/2 hours late on Wednesday. We planned to depart at 8 a.m. I woke up at 9:01 to discover that Glenn was the only one up. Kelly had still NOT packed and we were holding off on waking the beast (better known as Cameron) until the last minute. So instead of being in Hagerstown around 11 or 11:30 we didn't get there until 2 p.m. We had a great lunch with Tammy and her family. It was a surprise that John was able to bring Jessie up to join us. I just love that little girl. She makes me laugh.
After an hour and a half and some great hugs we departed for North Carolina.
We finally arrived about 11 p.m. and poor Mom had to wait up for us. Normally, she's sound asleep by 10 p.m. We quickly put up the beds, unpacked the car and snuggled down. Need I say that we were all exhausted?
Christmas Eve dawned cold and early. We were a bit concerned that Mom's normal coffee klatch would wake us up early, but they stayed home and let us sleep til around 9. Mom toured us around and introduced to just about every senior citizen in North Carolina *just kidding* and we dealt with a very excited little boy.
Around 5 we headed a few miles down the roads to McAdenville where all the houses on the main road decorate. The lake was high so they did not light up the decorations over it. While we waited for Santa, Glenn and Kelly drew a mural for Santa.
Poor Santa couldn't visit until about 3 a.m. Around 7 we woke up to see all the stuff Santa brought. There was one happy little boy who got an Xbox 360.
Christmas night we had Cameron's birthday party and one of Mom's friends has a 10 year old grandson who came. It was nice for Cameron to have someone his age to play with for a bit.
Saturday, Glenn and I had a date to Sonny's BBQ and then Sunday morning we came home. We stopped in Hagerstown again to see Tammy and exchange gifts. The kids played Rock Band on PS3 and all in all it was tons o fun!!!
So as I close I wish you all had as much fun as I did and wish you all a happy, prosperous and most especially, blessed New Year!
