Southwest Road Trip Day Five
I got up at 6am and dragged my sister to the gym. We had a busy day ahead of us: Grinch on Ice in Grapevine and early xmas dinner. My brother-in-law took the day off and supervised the kids riding bikes, skateboarding, jumping on the trampoline and etc. Norb is an excellent skater so he was teaching Mia some moves.
After the gym I got a hair up my ass to clean my car. I never vacuum the inside. My sister has a wet/dry vac so I suckered my nieces to vacuum. Tee-hee. I also had to fix the cigarette lighter since I blew a fuse trying out a 12-volt coffee maker. It turns out that my car battery wasn't powerful enough to run it. I had to take apart the entire console to repair the lighter and then replaced the fuse.
I barely finish my shower when we had to leave to the ice show. The Grapevine convention center is absurd in size. It took forever to get to the entrance. We had to wear parkas in the show because they kept the temperature at 9 degrees F. Brrr. The ice sculptures were very impressive. I just wanted to lick them (no, I didn't). We went down an ice chute and then it was over. The kids loved it. My sister treated us to Starbucks and then we headed back to the house for cooking.
Rather, I worked on her computer while she cooked. Norb invited a friend and his two kids. The kids played while we adults drank and chit chatted.
A good day.
