Trip Log
We celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah at the Schweds with them and the Goodmans. We caught up , toured Ken's train layout. lit the menorah and had a delicious dinner.
Another wonderful Christmas Eve with all the family. I even got to ride with Bailey as he drove to the grocery store for some last minute needs. Mike and his family came over to Jeff's with Elyse driving and we ate a buffet type meal prepared by Alesa, Danielle and Lisa.
Last night we had a Chinese dinner and Bridget made sushi followed by a round of Chinese checkers and Christmas shows. Today Alesa, Jeff and I went to the King of Prussia mall. We haven't been there for a few years and were impressed by the changes they made.
Today we met Bob & Ann Goodman and Mike & Linda Holden at the Devon train station and took the train into Philadelphia. We got off at Jefferson Station and walked to South Street then over to the Italian market.
Last night the six of us played chinese checkers at Jeff's. Today the ladies made and decorated cookies and then Alesa, Bridget and I went to Mike's. Mike and I watched the Eagles lose while the ladies played scattergories.
Packed the car on Thursday morning and left around 7 and arrived at the Lumberton, NC Country Inn and Suites around 3:30. We were surprised by all the trees still down in South Carolina.
Today, Alesa went to a Christmas luncheon with the ladies of the neighborhood while I golfed with Mike from across the street.
Getting ready for our Holiday trip north and keeping busy with parties and our normal activities. Alesa was especially busy baking Christmas cookies. Craig and Janet were here today for pickleball. It was cool and windy which makes the game interesting since it's played with a wiffleball.
The neighborhoods are all lit up for Christmas and we have toured some of the local ones. Tonight we went down to Brownwood to see Johnny Dee and the Starlighters and treated ourselves to a bucket of French fries at 5 guys.
