I really thought I was going to have an easy commute for Thanksgiving this year. We were with Jen’s family and her Aunt was hosting. They live 16 miles from us in Harrison. This was a coup! Rather than dealing with LI traffic, or driving to Northern Westchester I was right around the corner. It was going to be a SNAP!
Boy was I wrong. 16 miles and it took us 55 minutes to get there. It was the longest drive to a holiday we have had in a long time… possibly ever. Turns out, as close as we were there are no good highways to take. Everything is backed up, especially on a holiday.
Well, after using Google Navigation on my Droid to find us a back roads alternate route, we got there. Everything was great. The food, the family… the food.
