Plan for Thanksgiving week

We have kids out of state and so holidays will mostly be spent without one or more of them..

So this year for Thanksgiving which always falls with a perfectly situated 4 day weekend for both of us, we are hitting the road.  We both are taking the day before off and Greg will just be busy on the phone while I drive, and he talking with his customers, as is how we usually roll. But if that is what it takes for him to get away from the home office.  The drive is 13 hours and we will make it out there in two days on a more leisurely pace depending on what time we can get out of dodge. The time will determine what direction we take (ideally hwy 15 to hwy 11 through Zion National Park and then to hwy 89 north to hwy 70) which will take us through the rural farmlands.. but if we get out of town late, it will be a direct shot up the 15 to hwy 70..

Brian moved to Parachute CO in June of this year, and so it will be a fun road trip to go see him and spend time celebrating his 25th birthday which is on Nov 20, as well as the Thanksgiving holiday.  Brians co worker Dave and his wife Kathy invited them over for dinner on this day and so we will also go with them.

On Black Friday Nicole had gotten tickets for Brians birthday to go see Rodney Carrington in Grand Junction.  So I went to ticketfly.com and was able to get two tickets for us in the balcony in different places, but that is how sold out it is.

What are you doing on Thanksgiving?
