We are on the way to spend the Christmas season with Andrew and Christina and the girls. In addition, we will enjoy their friends and relatives too. Molly wanted to be sure we knew that their Christmas stockings are hung by the mantel, all ready for Santa Clause. Their home is all decorated but I must decorate the condo. Kate and Mary Frances will help me open the three boxes I brought the last time we celebrated in Jackson, which must be at least three years ago. This is the first year I have seen Christmas in their new home so it will be a treat.
I have been retired for two full years so we have driven the route between Texas and Mississippi many times. Normally, we drive a different route, but this time we are taking a familiar path. The GPS is turned on but we really don't need it. We drove north on 35, then the the toll road to bypass Austin on 130, east and north on 79, and finally 20 to Jackson. The traffic was sparse so the drive was pleasant.
Now this is the best part. Even without booking our motel ahead, we stopped driving after six and a half hours of driving. Ken thought we were both fresh so could drive another hour, but we both agreed to stick to our plan and fortunately, a Fairfield Inn appeared so in we went, just in time to watch Navy beat Army yet again. Tomorrow, we have just over four hours of driving to get to Jackson. Then we will begin to celebrate the season.
