Thanksgiving in St. Louis

Unpacking was going so well that we drove home to the Midwest for Thanksgiving.

We drove to St. Louis on Wednesday the 23rd, arriving around 5 p.m. after a 9-hour drive. Thanksgiving was celebrated with Mom and Dad and the usual feast, followed by a visit with the neighbors down the street. We all drove up to Springfield, IL on Friday afternoon to visit with Tim’s family and have a big dinner. Mom and Dad drove back to St. Louis that night while Tim and I stayed through Sunday morning before an excruciating drive home that took about 12-13 hours.

Note to self: ALWAYS drive around Chattanooga during the holiday season. The added 20 miles to go through Alabama is worth the 2 hours we’ll save on the road.
