Today is one of the biggest travel days of the year, and state police are out in force making sure everyone is buckled up and not drinking and driving.
Be forewarned! Drive safely, don't let the other crazy drivers get to you, and get where you're going safely. And if you're going to get really festive and have a beverage or two because sometimes that makes dealing with relatives easier, have a designated driver!
