Easter weekend and the beginning of break

We left late Saturday morning to make the trip to my in-laws.  To be honest, it's a pretty stressful visit.  My brother-in-law has been released from the care facility, and is living in a house about six blocks from Andrew's parents.  He is refusing any outside help, and doesn't really want his parents' help either, but he is in denial that he can't physically do things on his own.  He basically doesn't want to speak to his parents and they can't hardly stand to be around him, yet they feel trapped by these circumstances.  It's a very tense and stressful situation for everyone.  We made a short visit to my brother-in-law when we first arrived, and he was supposed to join us for dinner on Sunday.  Unfortunately, he didn't feel well, but even Andrew admitted it made our evening visit with his parents so much more pleasant.  We were back on the road home Monday morning, and made it home in time to see most of Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds.  We had a snacky kind of dinner while watching the game (a 5-2 Reds victory).  And on the upside we have the rest of break to still enjoy!
