Yearly Maryland Sprint
We just got back from Maryland.
We left yesterday and came back tonight. We would've been back earlier but we met up with Seth and Leslie for dinner. Barbara and I drove to their place and then all went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant near them. It was sooo good! Yummies... I had veal! (I may as well, cause I know Barbara will never make it for me!) We had a great time with them. I wish we all lived closer!
Maryland was very nice but way too brief (as usual.) In the 24 hours of being in Maryland we were able to visit: Aunt Rolana & Uncle Pat, Uncle Joe & Aunt Laura, Papa John, Cheryl/Rick/Tyler, and Poppop and Nana. We made it down there in decent time (about 4 hours) and had dinner over at Uncle Joe & Aunt Laura's. Papa John was there too. It was very nice seeing them. We stayed at Cheryl & Rick's overnight and made a quick lunch stop over at Poppop and Nana's and to the cemetary, and then we were on the road again back to NJ.
It's the same way every year. But at least I make it down to see everyone. It may be for only a few hours with each relative... but I guess I still get credit for seeing everyone. For the past few years we have been meeting all the Maryland relatives for brunch around Christmas time, but with Nana getting worst... getting her to make the trip has become increasingly difficult... that's too bad! :n(
Never the less, it was great seeing everyone for my yearly visit!
