This weekend for Thanksgiving we headed north to the Doylestown, PA area and visited with my Aunt and Uncle who live there. Our family tradition at Thanksgiving is to alternate years in visiting between my parent's house and my Aunt and Uncle's house. It has been a tradition I have enjoyed for years.
Now we find ourselves in a little different situation. As the family ages, it grows and now the family of five that used to come up from Maryland has grown to a family of eleven, and their side has grown too. So we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express that opened only a month ago. In fact, a little less than a month. It was so new that I believe no one had ever used our room before. It still smelled new, plumbing flux came out of the fixtures, and there were still pencil marks on the tiles. It was kinda nice not having to wonder what germs people may have left. Instead we left the germs for a generation. :-)
They had an indoor pool which the girls loved. The temperature of the water was probably about 90 degrees; a little warm. I had to stand up in the shallow end just to cool off my body because it was so hot. When we took the kiddies out we noticed their little bodies were reddish. So when we checked out I recommended that they lower the temperature just a bit.
It was a great trip, whirlwind, but great.
