There was a lot to do. We visited Mom and Dad, went to a Zanesville HS basketball team and had dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. The basketball game was a little stressful, we were sitting in the reserved section and catching some dirty looks. The next night was better as we got to watch the niece play for West Muskingum. Well, kind of play, the coach put her in twice for about five minutes a shot.
Christmas Eve was great, we kept the gifts cheap this year but splurged on a camera for Dad and rockers for Mom. Christmas day was equally fun. I unleashed a 1/24th scale Dodge Challenger on the nephew. I think he was a little overwhelmed by all the gifts but this baby was pretty solid metal so I'm sure he'll be enjoying it for years to come. Right after dinner and visiting at Bryce and LeeAnn's and all the gift's had been exchanged we decided to drive for awhile. We made it to Terra Haute, Indiana and stopped for the night. The only restaurant opened was a Chinese place in a strip mall. While eating we saw the news about the underwear bomber.
The next day we hit Missouri. Snow was in the forecast and we were headed right toward it. We lucked out and dipped below Kansas City to pick up the niece and nephew and missed the bulk of the white stuff. The rest of the trip was pretty boring and uneventful. We had a good time with the kids but were looking forward to getting out of the truck. We were practically living in it for two weeks and to be honest it was starting to reek.
So that was it. I'm sure I missed some highlights like visiting with Jim and Lisa spending most of her time in the pool. It was great to be home and see everyone I love. I wish I had been able to get around and see more people but that will have to wait until next visit I guess.
