There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays...

Sorry I've been MIA lately. I'm still recovering from my holiday travels and food coma(s). If this map doesn't do my two weeks of rest and relaxation justice, maybe my explanation will:

1) It all started in Austin...
2) We drove to Houston to drop the dog off at my grandma's and catch our flight...
3) Flew to Chicago
4) Drove to Grand Rapids, where we had a delicious meal of Homemade Beef and Noodles (Dutch Boy's Grandma's specialty)
5) Drove about an hour north to his parents' house
6) Drove back to Grand Rapids for Christmas Day
7) Drove back to his parents' house
8) Drove to the east side of the state (The Thumb, if you will) for the other side of his family's annual gathering
9) Drove back to his parents' house
10)Drove to Grand Rapids to stay the night
11)Drove to Chicago
12)Flew to Houston
13)Drove to San Antonio with my parents and grandparents for my brother's graduation from Basic Training
14)CAME HOME.

Ugh. I'm tired just typing that. Soon, I will include a full report of my action-packed Christmas. Happy hump-day!
