Because Gigi and Papaw are spending Christmas in The Lone Star State. With the first grandbaby due any day now (!!!), we have decided to take the 11-year old and spend Christmas away from home for the first time.
We were all set to drive, but tonight I decided to look at the cost of flights just for fun. I was happily surprised (especially during the holidays) to find that we could fly and rent a car for a total of only $200 more dollars than driving, and without the wear and tear on our own vehicle. And without driving for 16 hours one way with an 11-year old and my husband...
Sold.
So tonight's picture represents anticipation of a new family member, and that dual feeling of happiness and nausea as you plunk down $$$ for airline tickets. Hopefully Mother Nature will take pity on us poor Ohioans and pull out a temperature in the 50's while we are there. Either way, I am sure it will be warmer there than here, and it won't matter anyway cuz I will be busy snuggling with my new grandbaby!
