Happy Thanksgiving DIS geeks!! How is everyone doing? I am 700 pages behind now so please forgive me if I just jump in and don't even try to catch up.
We're in Charlottesville, VA right now visiting my parents for T Day tomorrow. On Saturday JP (who is 6 and 364/365 today) had his last basketball game for the fall season, then we got in the car and drove all night to get here by noon. We only stopped for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants -- Steak n Shake. John and Amy, do you have this where you are in OH? They don't have one in MN and we just LOVE it.... By the way, that's about 20 hours in the car for those who are keeping track.
As soon as we arrived in Cville on Sunday, my whole family, including my brother and his wife and kids (who flew in from Calgary), 1 sister, parents and me Paul and the kids all drove 2 hours away to the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA. The only person missing is my sister who lives in London. She moved there in April and I have not forgiven her yet. We had a lot of fun at the waterpark for a few days, left our mark on an Outback restaurant (my 1 and 3 year old niece and nephew had the mother of all screaming matches, oy), then drove back here to the parental abode just outside Cville. Right now everyone but me and my SIL and the 2 little ones are at a UVA basketball game. Tomorrow's the big turkey dinner, then Friday everyone is going to see Happy Feet before the Husker football game is on TV -- an annual must see event since me, dh, db and dsil all went to UNL.
Anyway, that's what we've all been up to, hope you are all enjoying this holiday week as well. I am SOOOO excited about the cruise and seeing you all, it seems so close now!
