We spent Thanksgiving weekend with the family, stuffing ourselves with turkey, playing board games, going to the forest, going to the movies, sleeping, lounging, etc. The drive back to Los Angeles, was pretty slow, as we hit pockets of traffic, especially around Magic Mountain.
All in all, we drove about 2,800 miles, ate lots of indulgent foods, walked quite a few miles, spent way too much money, and had lots of fun. But it still feels good to to be back home.
