Vacation

I left work early today so we could get an early start on the road. The Rodman's will be home tonight so we wanted to get to see them before they left for the weekend.

Pat's car needed an oil change and 2 tires so that is what I spent my extra time doing (we were going to take my car but it was acting funny). Unfortunately for me it took them 1.5 hours to fix the three things I asked for. I hate waiting, especially on a nice day. The good part of that was Pat got home just before I did so we got to hit the road at around 3PM.

The traffic was as bad as expected in the beginning of the drive but the 80 was a mess. Luckily we saw this before we got on and were able to get around it. Unlucky for us the traffic after Scranton was not avoidable. We did not have a map or a GPS. We were stuck. In the end the drive took us 7 1/2 hours and we did not get lots of extra time to chat with the Rodmans. At least we did not get in after midnight, if we had left at 7, well I don't want to think about the time we would have gotten in.

And no fireworks this year. Bummer.
