Karen's parents arrive today in about 2 hours to spend Christmas with us. Then they drive back to St. Louis on the 26th. We fly up to St. Louis on the 28th to spend 5 days there getting them ready to move down here to move into a retirement community 5 minutes away from us. Why don't we fly up there and have Christmas with them in SL and prep them instead of the 2 separate trips? Good question. I think they were having trouble with that decision (not sure why) so we just said sure, two trips.
Oh well. Travel time fun during the holidays rather than relaxing.
