It could certainly be worse but it's at a limit that isn't bad enough for me to weasel out of but it's far enough to take up half the day. At least yours is far enough that you have a valid reason for not going, or if you choose to do it, then at least your first plate of thanksgiving turkey gets to digest before you have to eat a seond :) too many tryptophans for one day

: It's even worse here.. both my parents are remarried, AND I've got Kelly's family to deal with.

: my dad's parents are in Oklahoma City (3 hours west), Kelly's family is in Braggs (1 hr east), my mom's parents are an hour north, stepmom's family is 3 hrs northeast, and my mom's house is 4 hours northeast (different highway).

: At christmas, I tend to drive about 1500 miles in the span of a couple days. ugh.

: : : got me going to weddings, meeting the family, I think she's getting at something, also, her camry is in the shop, (she crashed it of course)...please pray for me she's driving the max today....

: : As if our own families aren't weird enough, but we are forced to deal with the disfunctionality of someone elses family. Holidays are especially fun fo me because we go to my family first (1 hour northeast) and then her family in the evening (1 hour southwest) and end up driving 4 hours in one day and getting home at 10pm needing a full day off from seeing anyone in order to recover properly.
: : I always get nervous when my girlfriend drives my car. She's a good enough driver, but she always comes home with stories of the cars she has won and lost to on the way home. The other week she lost to some old caddy but beat a modded Honda. I can't tell if she is making the whole thing up or not.
