I’m now back home after a nice winter break. A few thoughts on our Christmas adventure to Indiana.
- My favorite thing while traveling is spending more time with my children.
- If you want to see some empty roads, travel major interstate highways on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. I have NEVER seen the major arteries between Maryland and Indiana as empty as they were late on those evenings. It was downright eerie. I had to drive at the speed limit because there was no one else on the road to provide cover.
- Bub’s Burgers in Carmel, Indiana, (featured on Man v. Food) is an excellent place to eat.
- I don’t like waking up early to go to work, but I REALLY don’t like waking up early during vacation.
- It’s really nice to see family, and especially nice not to discuss politics with them. I would LOVE nothing more than for us to agree on what’s happening in this country and the solutions, but when we discussed politics on our visit last June, some of my family members brought up the ridiculously untrue “Obama has taken more vacations than any President in modern history” and “the poor don’t have any skin in the game so we should raise their taxes” arguments, so there’s little hope that they’d ever agree with me on the issues.
- I always take my Netbook and have high hopes to make some blog postings, but rarely does it work out that way. Also, having access to a wireless network has become incredibly important to all of us.
- My family, many of whom only play games when we visit, are all pretty good gamers.
- Travel always rejuvenates me and makes me long to get things done.
- Returning safely home to an undisturbed house is a great feeling. I always enjoying bringing the house back to life when we return.
I hope everyone had fun holidays.
