Yearly Trip

It was that time of year again where we take the journey to Germany.

Now there are two drivers two cars, the drivers don't have family in Germany, this is me and the exgf's step dad. Its not the best journey but I know i have done a lot worse (the M25 for a start). We take the exgf my son and her brothers and mum over so that they can see their mum/nan and great nan.

I was asked a few days before/told that we would be leaving about half 1, which I thought was a bit late in the day as it tends to be a 5/6hr trip, but I just agreed to keep the peace, but next year i won't be doing this, we got stuck in Antwerp with all the rush hour traffic and only missed other jams by minutes. We got to Germany at around 9pm their time.

Normally we stay at exgf's cousins but as my son is still being trained not to wet the bed she decided we would stay in a hotel, now the hotel we picked wasn't the cheapest but it was a great place and only 5 mins from her nans.

The hotel was very nice (even though a bit expensive for meals and things) and i would love to use it again but with my son using his own bed instead of me having the little single bed and those two having the kings size bed to themselves.

Unfortunately my son was ill for most of the weekend, he caught the bug that is going round so had runny nose then coughing fits and also a bout a sickness which he had once in the car on the way there, most of Friday night then during the day Sunday. Saturday he spent being very weak and not being able to do much so luckily we didn't spend long in the city of Cologne.

But all in all it was a good weekend.

I know i am rambling but not much else has really happened, me and the exgf are still getting on not as close as I want so I am just giving her space. I do hope we can sort through things though as i am worried that I might get distracted by other women, I just have to be strong willed.
