This has been a nice long break for us and we're sad to see it end.
We had a chilly start to the week, causing mom to pull out all our winter gear. She sent me to school on Monday with a thick coat, gloves, scarf and a hat. It was possibly a teeny bit of overkill but you can never have to much gear on when it comes to cold!
Thankfully, it warmed up by Wednesday because we headed out for our second annual Thanksgiving "camping" trip.
We went with our camping friends, Mike, Audrey and Madeline and this year, we had full hook ups! That is the Ritz in RV terms. All the water and electricity we could use so no worries about our heat conking out at 2 AM like last year. We maintained a cozy 67 degrees both nights and were snug bugs.
Thanksgiving day was just gorgeous- even a little warm. Probably 80 degrees! We spent the day bike riding, hiking, feeding the horses. And this year, we even ate while the sun was up so the food stayed warm while we ate it! Last year, we ate after dark, bundled up, shoveling food in before it got cold.
We got home late Friday morning, unpacked, showered and then headed out to get the tail end of Black Friday sales. We all came away with something to show for our efforts so it was a good evening.
On Saturday, we put up our Christmas tree and all of our decorations and now we are full on into the Christmas season, even though it continues to be 75 degrees.
It's back to the grind tomorrow for a few more weeks. Hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving day and have a great week!
