Busy Today - Surprise Trip

Today is turning out to be quite a busy day for me. Why? We are taking a little trip and I have to get everyone packed up! We are leaving bright and early and hopefully before sunup tomorrow morning. Where are we going? To Branson, MO! My hubby had taken the week off from work and we hadn't really made any plans since my mom has not been doing great. But after talking it over and getting the green light from her doctors, we are going to head north. It's going to be cold but it will be much warmer in the condo that our house which was built in 1860. My mom is not thrilled but I don't think anything would thrill her right now. I'm off to make a last minute grocery store haul. Got to get pet food and snacks for trip and a few groceries. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! Photo Credit: Pixabay

Of course we get here and find snow is now in the forecast. This happens whenever we go somewhere in the winter. We missed it though but had lots of ice.

@LadyDuck Yes, snow would be nice for Christmas. Not going to happen here. But I'm not complaining of the mild temperatures for the next couple of days. Merry Christmas!

Your mom will be glad when she's all warm and toasty in the condo. I hope it's not a very long drive.

It was a little more than 9 hours for us with stopping for gas, eating and bathroom. That didn't make her happy either. She complained the whole time

She had mixed emotions and I'm thinking it will be hard getting her up early in the morning. Oh well.

This is our second trip. The first was a business trip and we didn't do much at all. This time I have my mother with us and she is not liking the cold at all. Maybe this will put her in a better mood for our cold weather down south. We are hoping to get out some tomorrow and also having better weather tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

I think she will and I'm sure she will nap most of the way.

Have fun! We went to Branson a few times many years ago (my husband's from Arkansas). Hope you guys will be well and have lots of stories to share with us.

@1creekgirl I'd rather go to Hot Springs but he chose Branson. It's okay. We will be limited as to what we can go do with my mom.
