Does anyone travel to see family around the holidays?
« on: November 27, 2016, 01:57:08 pm »
I have been lucky to have all my family very close to me when I was younger and now only a little more than an hour away. My boyfriend's family is back in Missouri and he will be driving there for Christmas. It must be difficult to be away from family all year but especially around the holidays

My immediate family live close, as do my 2 best friends.  My 2 stepbrothers live a distance so I don't see them on holidays.

Although gas prices are low, I was not in the mood to travel this year...we just used the good old system, the telephone.

My kids made it up to the mountains for four days during Thanksgiving before they had to head off to an insignificant concert. This was okay because I took last week to relax and get my head together. My wife and I went exploring by ourselves, took the dogs for a five mile walk (pups are passed out today), hit a few nice restaurants and watched several movies. I had told my wife to plan on only spending a day or two with the kids because they are into them selves at this time of their lives ( my son is seventeen going on eighteen and my daughters is twenty). Living with/ visiting them makes it so much easier to work ninety plus hours per week. I may fly out to visit my parents for three days next week. I have hit and exceeded my goals for my daytime job and only have to put in another forty hours this month to hit my goals for job number two.

I went to visit my daughter in the hospital.  She just had knee replacement surgery.

Considering I have a pinched sciatic nerve, it surely seemed long distance... :)

Lately, I do not travel to visit my family out of state.  Locally is my thing.
