We have arrived down at Jeremy’s parents’ house.
Yesterday, it was still a bit too icy up there in Chicago-land, so we skipped our church’s Christmas Eve service and had what is quickly becoming our family’s traditional service at the house with the reading of the Christmas story and singing some traditional carols by candlelight.
This morning, Jeremy made a batch of waffles and bacon for breakfast. Then afterwards, we opened presents then packed up the van and headed on down. Joe (our GPS) led us through more of the country-side than we usually drive. He even took us on a dirt road for a little while.
Anyway, we are here in never, never land Illinois! Don’t get me wrong, I love the country and I love being down there. I can’t wait to see Sarah while we’re here and have a girls’ night out.
You must have Joe set to go the shortest route which will take you off the highways. Can you set it for the quickest route? Sometimes it still takes you in a funny direction, but you have to make some decisions and it will reroute.
