Thanksgiving 2005

James and I drove to Aunt Dot's on Wednesday. We left school at 1:30 p.m. - tried to avoid the snow - didn't work. The roads were misreable all the way thru Ohio and for the first 100 miles thru Pennsylvania. It took us forever. We had to drive 40 mph for a good two hours of the trip. We arrived at Aunt Dot's at midnight. I did a lot of praying on this trip! Nick drove up from Camp Lejeune, NC with a friend who lives 12 miles from Aunt Dot, so she picked him up at 10:30 p.m. He didn't run into any bad weather, but they hit Washington, DC at 5 p.m. - rush hour. His trip took a little over 12 hours, which was 2 hours longer than it should have been. I guess there was a big accident on I95 around the DC area.
This morning Nick, James & I drove up to Wind Gap. We're having Thanksgiving with the DeBoer's. We'll drive back to Glenside on Saturday and spend the night with Grammy, Aunt Dot & Julia (Uncle Chuck is in VA visiting his parents).
Chuck and Kyle are staying behind in MI for Thanksgiving. Chuck has to work on Saturday and Kyle has a wrestling scrimmage. They'll have Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's house in Hudson, MI.
