Thanksgiving in Greensboro

Jenny's beautiful centerpiece...she designed it herself!

Last Wednesday we hit the road for Thanksgiving in Greensboro. What should only take 4 1/2 hours, ended up taking us 6 1/2 hours. Isn't the day before Thanksgiving the most traveled day of the year? North Carolina must not think so because a very large section of 85 was under road construction with only one lane open in each direction. I was driving since Dave was resting from his long morning of having some major dental work done, and I needed a break from the traffic. So, I got off the interstate and was about to pull in to Burger King when a guy with no driver's license, no insurance, no passenger side window, and a warrant out for his arrest in a car that didn't belong to him ran into the back of us! And just to clarify, Christina WAS NOT at fault this time. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and the police did finally arrive after a short wait of about 45 minutes. :) Even though it was a rough trip getting there, we had the best time in Greensboro! We were very thankful to be able to spend a few days with so many members of our family.

Cute pictures! I feel your pain- our drive back from Florida took 17 hours Sunday. We got in at 3 am!
