bluehwysLeaving this morning with mom for North Carolina to visit my sister. We're driving it, of course. The Biltmore Estate has all their Christmas decorations up, I guess, so we're going to hit that again. Pam said that she was going to try and get us onto one of the candlelit tours in the evening. It sounds really nice. It was beautiful when were there earlier this year; I can't wait to see it all decorated for the holidays.
Mom's driving first because, a) her back and hip and everything are better in the morning than later in the day, and b) I was out late last night at an A-Team event on the Odyssey II at Navy Pier. It was a champagne dinner cruise for the MDA, and it was a lot of fun. We got to dress up and get all fancy, lol. The store was having a beauty event that day, with Kathy Snyder, so a few of us got our make-up done at work.
The food was excellent, there was dancing, a silent auction (I bid on a Kate Spade bag. Don't think I got it, though), cocktails, and a wine pull.
I think I only got a few hours of sleep last night. Ugh. But it was worth it because we had a blast. Can't wait to see the pictures, lol. A couple of the younger girls were going out after, and if I didn't have to leave at the butt-crack of dawn this morning, I would have gone with. Oh well.
Gotta go pack the cooler and load up the car.
