Kansas Thanksgiving: Day 4 - Black Friday and Day 5 - Homeward Bound

Elliott waited until Thursday night to have a meltdown about sleeping with the DVD player upstairs and insisted on sleeping on the loveseat downstairs.  That wouldn't be important if my mom hadn't been planning to sneak off to Target at midnight to buy my Kindle.  We didn't get much sleep, and the wee hours of Black Friday came even rougher because of it.  All 5 of us trudged to Manhattan (only 20 minutes away) to secure our deals.


We even managed our yearly visit with Santa while we were there!

Even with altering our sleep patterns, it made for some tired drivers starting home on Saturday. And I will never let my mother forget what a whiner she was. Granted, we drove the first 8 hours (non-stop, no joke) in the rain, but that doesn't call for being the worst rider in a car...beating out the 6 year old.
