I spent Christmas weekend at my sister’s house in Maryland. My parents and I drove there, the dog in the back seat of the car with me and the presents tucked away in the trunk, early on Saturday morning. That evening, we went out for a nice Christmas Eve dinner in Bethesda, just the eight of us — my sister, her husband, his mother, my parents, my aunt and uncle, and me — and the next day we had brunch and Christmas dinner both at my sister’s house. Aside from our dog, who got into a panic when we left him at my sister’s and headed back to the hotel last night — he’s very much a creature of quiet comforts and habit, and my sister’s dog is a little rambunctious by comparison — I think everyone had a lovely time.
Hope you had a lovely holiday and/or weekend.
I’m just amazed that it’s already the end of Monday. Where’d that first half of my vacation go?
I read that too quickly and thought you said ‘parents tucked away in the trunk’!
Glad you had a nice holiday. You’re back home now?
Not to worry, none of us were in the trunk. We drove back yesterday morning. We hit a lot of traffic along the way, but we got home early in the evening. Good to be back. I just blew through three whole vacation days without breaking a sweat!
I thought you and the presents were in the trunk, while the dog had the back seat all to himself.
