Thanksgiving '22 Travelog #7
Near Harrisburg, PA - Fri, 25 Nov 2022, 9am
For Thanksgiving I switched sides of the family I was visiting. Early Thursday morning I left town where my mother, my youngest sister, and her family live, and drove to central Pennsylvania, around Harrisburg. Along the way I stopped at Dulles airport to pick up Hawk, who'd arrived on a red-eye from San Francisco. It was 40-45 minutes to the airport for me, then a bit under 2 hours from there to Harrisburg.
Hawk was ready for a nap when we arrived at her parents' place. She had gotten about 4 hours of sleep on the flight, which is nearly the max possible, but that still wasn't enough. That's okay; we all plan for things like that when taking these red-eye flights. I chatted with my inlaws for a few hours while she slept it off. ...Okay, I napped for about an hour, too. 😅
My brother in law arrived later in the afternoon. Around 3:45 we all headed over to a family friend's for Thanksgiving dinner. MIL and this friend always split holiday cooking/hosting. By "split" I mean they take turns. And by "take turns" I mean they both do it. One hosts Thanksgiving dinner, the other hosts Second Thanksgiving dinner, on Friday. 🤣
Thanksgiving dinner was great. There were 14 people there between our family, their family, and a few additional family friends. The food was delicious- as it always is with MIL and her friend. And we get to do it again tonight!
