Travel Time

I went to pick up Rachael in Stockbridge last night and Helaina and Jacob came with me. Under normal conditions, this is usually about an hour and a half drive, but I left early. About two hours early. Part of it was the excuse that the traffic was likely to be heavy, which wasn't completely untrue. And part of it was the excuse that I had to make a stop before getting Rachael. Which again, was partly true. Maybe not two hours true, but still ...

The fact is I was excited to be going to get Rachael and I was excited to be spending the time with Helaina and Jake. It's been a long time since we road around together and even longer since we drove around listening to Christmas carols together.

It turns out the traffic wasn't all that bad, and my stop took all of about twenty minutes. This left plenty of time to do more driving around, listening to music and catching up on small talk while we waited for Rachael... for the next two hours.
