The Last Day of November?!?

Hey y'all!

I just got back from an excellent trip in Richmond, VA. It was absolutely gorgeous. Most of the leaves are still on the trees so it looks way more like Fall than Winter. Welcome back to MI, where we have six months of winter!
The last day we were there we went to get Christmas trees for our cousins. We came back with two decently sized ones. We spent the rest of the evening at our Uncle Roy and Auntie Pam's house decorating the tree, drinking hot apple cider, and building a fire. It was really nice.
On the way home, we stopped in Baltimore to hang out with our cousins, Natalie and Kristin, and our friends, Jessica and Jacob. We went bowling then ate at a Korean restaurant. Yum...
We were headed home and I was driving.... and then we hit the mother of all traffic jams. We were on the highway at a standstill. We moved probably half a mile in an hour. Then all of the sudden, it cleared up, just like that. It was very, very bizarre. Needless to say, we got way behind with our schedule and didn't get home until 1:25am. I only drove until we got to Breezewood, PA, where we stopped to get some food. Unfortunately, I had an extremely hard time sleeping, so I kept waking up... I thought quite a bit on this trip, which is something I rarely have time for... haha.
Tomorrow we have the last day of Explorers, our homeschool group. We're going to dissect a brain! Yay! A sheep brain, not a person brain... But this also means that, after tomorrow, I will have NO homework until... January! Huzzah!
I have to right a paper on cell death now... hehe.
On another note, I'm in a very good mood today. Hooray for enough sleep!

Love, Sarah
