Allie, it was nice you you to ask.
Donnie, I completely agree. My brother in law and his family came out for 3 days around new years...my parents for 4 around Christmas. Unfortunately, it just wasn't enjoyable. No relaxing, just rushing from here to there....no good. Next year, I think I'd like to go away for the holidays...rent a house on a beach somewhere, and vegetate for a week or so....
