We Went To Toledo!! Yeah..Toledo...Ohio

So we got to go to Toledo, Ohio two weekends ago to see my family and new niece. I'll leave my opinions of Toledo, that God forsaken hole of a place, out of this blog.
We got to fly into the crappy Detroit Airport, which if you haven't had the privilege just look at pictures of abandoned, filthy, third world country buildings and imagine a runway in front of it. (If you ever fly into Detroit, fly on Northwest, because they have the nice terminal.) We then got our rental car, which was an 08 Toyota Highlander, from Hertz. I have never rented from Hertz before, but it was wonderful. Way better then Budget, who I normally rent through. We got to our Hotel in Toledo around 2 am.
The next day we went and saw my brother and his family and my parents. We went to Sears and got pictures taken as a family and then came back and had a Christmas dinner together. Then it snowed pretty good the next day and we didn't really do anything until Monday when we went to Tony Packos and got some Hot Dogs.
It was good seeing the family though. I hadn't seen my brother and his family since Brianna's and I wedding. I would never go to Toledo or Detroit though if he didn't live in that area.

My mom just wraps stuff from when I was a kid and gives it to me as presents. Yes, that is a Smurfs Pillowcase.
Awesome.

I said it was good to see you. It's worth going there to see all of you. And my goodness that was a quick comment back. I only posted this about 20 minutes ago.
