I'm home.

[LeftyMom]

The next time I decide to drive 600 miles for dinner, please reach through the internet and slap some sense into me.

At least with gas so cheap these days it wasn't an expensive trip.

1. Glad you made it back safely!

It's a horrible weekend to drive anywhere. :hug:

[LeftyMom]

5. Traffic was fine, other than fog.

And this time of year, fog is to be expected along a lot of the route.

2. And how was driving 150 miles for lunch?

:P

[LeftyMom]

3. Much easier!

No mountain range in the way.

[XemaSab]

9. You only had to fight your way through

100,000 tweekers to get here. :P

[LeftyMom]

10. Nah, I got there at lunch time, so they were still sleeping.

:shrug:

4. How was traffic?

I drove home from Eugene today (285 miles). About 100 miles from home, traffic came to a dead standstill, then proceeded to crawl along at about 3 miles an hour.

I couldn't take it, so I got off at this exit where I could use the back roads. Even though there were spots where I had to go 25 mph through little tiny towns, I still made it home faster than if I had stayed on I-5.

Hope your drive was a good one (or at least not as frustrating as mine -- until I got off the freeway).

[LeftyMom]

7. I probably passed you headed the other direction.

There was a little bottleneck at some road construction around Medford, and a lot of patchy fog pretty much the whole way down, but no real traffic to speak of and I made great time. No problems on the way up, either.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Glad to hear that.

And yeah, it was pretty foggy the whole drive, though in the beginning, the fog was pretty high. Later on in the drive, it was much closer to the ground.

6. where'd'ya go?

I'm pretty much *over* thanksgiving, I think. Next year it'll be pad thai at home with husband and the kitties...

Did you have a good time, at least?

[LeftyMom]

8. Portland.

I had a great time having dinner with friends.

[Missy Vixen]

12. LM, I'm glad you're home and safe

We went to Olympia for Thanksgiving dinner, so we may have passed Seattle Girl on the road, too!
