Only for family would I awaken at eight in the morning over the holidays.  We had a reservation to keep, and by god we did it!  We made it to our destination in a timely manner, and the weather did not interfere one bit.  Thankfully.
We spent the day far from home, and surrounded by a large group of merry people.  More gifts, tons of food, catching up on conversations, and general relaxing.  Today was great.
Travel really takes a toll on a person , as does all the food we have consumed.  This evening will have us to bed at an early hour, the three of us are wiped.
