We took our annual Christmas trip this year from December 20 until January 5ish. We picked up a friend who flew into Cleveland and went straight to the TSO concert. After the TSO concert, and a few days in Cleveland, we headed across to MD/VA, stopping to visit Atta in Pittsburgh, and my family in MD. We spent Christmas in Jersey, VA with my parents and then drove down to Virginia Beach, so that our friend from Idaho could touch the Atlantic Ocean. Most of these photos are from VA Beach. We took the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-TUnnel back into MD to visit Grandpa again, and then back to Cleveland for a few more days. After we left Cleveland, we visited my aunt and uncle in Michigan, and then headed west on I-80. Around Davenport, we noticed that the heater had stopped working in the car. This was due to the intake manifold gasket and the valve cover gasket leaking out all of the coolant. We spent a ton of time at the Iowa-80 truckstop, the largest in the world. $800 and two days later, we were on the road again, now ducking south to cut through MO, KS, OK, TX and ending our trip in NM.
