Winter Break

We didn't quite escape winter for this year's school Winter Break. Instead the girls and I traded some New York winter for some Massachusetts winter. It was actually supposed to be 40 degrees and rainy on the day we were driving, but whoops...guess the forecast was a little different on the Mass turnpike and I ended up driving through a snow storm the entire way. The girls were troopers because I couldn't do much to entertain them since I had to keep my full attention on our slow 35 mph snowy roads. The drive took us 6.5 hours instead of 3.5! Needless to say, when we arrived, the girls were happy and...starving! It was a fun to have a girls visit with Grammie...
