Turkey Tri State Tour 2009

My Thanksgiving Trip home is getting to be a tradition for me...I guess 2 years in a row qualifies as a tradition right? I had a great time with my friends and family as always, but I definitely lucked out with the weather being in the 40s and 50s everyday. It was only about 5 degrees warmer than in Sarah's house (sorry I had to do that Sarah if you are reading this). I jam packed a lot into a week and half that mom and dad had to keep an itinerary of where and what I was doing. I did leave some days open to just lounge around in my PJs because after all I was on vacation. I pretty much got to see and do all that I wanted...oh crap as I say that now I forgot to watch the Rockefeller Tree Lighting...dang it!! As always leaving is always the hardest part...the not knowing when the next time I'll come home or the next time I'll get a visit (hint hint) bothers me. And that first day you're home in your apartment with no one to talk to face to face but Frankie (my cat) is never fun. Well enough of the sentiment...here is trip back home in a nutshell...for the extended edition, visit my facebook page.
