Florida!

We made it!  We  left Nashville around 6 last night and drove to Birmingham.  Since we have never traveled over the holiday weekend I was not sure what to expect traffic-wise.  We actually did not hit any traffic all the way to Birmingham!  We were really surprised, but happy!  It was nice to drive part of the way and get a good night rest before heading further south.  The kids did good at the hotel.  Luke stayed in a room with Mom and Katherine stayed with us.  We actually ended up with two double beds so Katherine and I slept together and Paul had a bed all to himself -- lucky!

It was right at noon when we pulled in Andrew and Mandi's driveway.  It was so great to see them!  We made a quick sandwich and then got to work on our Thanksgiving meal.  Andrew and Mandi both enjoy cooking so we made it a family affair.  Luke helped, of course!  Mandi's parents and sister joined us for supper which was nice.  The meal was great!  We enjoyed visiting the rest of the night.  Katherine went down pretty easily. We brought the pack-n-play for her and she stayed in the room with us.  Luke is Nonna's roommate for the rest of the trip!

We are debating our Black Friday shopping.  We will see if we actually make it anywhere or not!
