Friday January 8th to Monday January 11, 2016
Kathy had invited the family to Adam's 40th birthday party to be held this Saturday. So we picked up Kylie and Mason, dropped them off at the airport, and headed North. We actually made it thru Charlotte (where Kylie and Mason had a connection) before they did! That day we made it to Marietta, Ohio where we had booked a really inexpensive hotel via a bid on Priceline.
We completed the drive on Saturday and went straight to Indy's soccer game. Indy scored a coupe of goals, obviously spurred on by Grandpas load cheering. After lunch we checked into the hotel (another Priceline deal) and took it easy until party time.
The party was at the "B Side" one of Kathy's clubs. They had invited "150 of their closest friends". We had the job of shuttling the kids home as their bed times arrived. It was a pretty fancy party but we retired at an early hour with the kids.
Sunday morning a cold front blew thru, bringing 20 degree temps, wind and snow. It was awful. We drove thru the storm in convoy to the west side for breakfast, after which a "select group" went to the RV Show at the Exhibition Center. unday night dinner was take out Thai food at the Blackmans'. Mason was really enjoying his cousins.
Monday we drove back to the boat and made the 700 odd miles in one day. The trip was extremely efficient - we never paid more than $1.80 a gallon and the car got over 40 MPG. Kylie and mason flew home Tuesday and we met them at the AP.
