This year we changed it up a bit, we drove to Virginia for Thanksgiving and will spend Christmas at home. It is always difficult to mentally prepare yourself for a 28 hour (round trip) road trip with two kids.

You’ll be whistling ‘Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah’ out of your bottom (ok, so maybe this isn’t the best quote for a family friendly blog)! I gotta be crazy!
