This year around August, John came home and said he couldn't get time off for Christmas. After a talk about gas prices ($4.00 per gal) the lack of vacation time and a tight budget, we came to the decision that this year we'd have Christmas here at home instead of traveling to John's parents home in Arizona.
Of course plans change. By mid November gas prices had dropped by about half and John found a way to get time off. Then came the phone call that John's parents were moving to Washington and this would be their last Christmas in Arizona. Washington is pretty far, too far to drive most years. So we made the decision that we'd do our best to afford the trip this one last time. So off we went the weekend before Christmas, again driving all night and arriving early early in the morning. Then the fun and festivities began. Read on for the complete details of our Christmas Vacation.
