We were able to go home last week and enjoy Thanksgiving with my (Megan's) family. We were able to see some good friends (Jim & Amanda) and go wine tasting in Lodi with Mike & Crista (pictures to follow). We ate a ton of good food and just enjoyed being able to spend time relaxing with family.
My family has a tradition (ok, ok, they have LOTS of traditions) but every year on the day after Thanksgiving we drive to Twain Harte and chop down our own Christmas tree. We've been going to the same place for like 20 years. We actually stopped buying trees there about ten years ago because they resemble the Charlie Brown trees, but we continued to go because it was a fun day outside and we took our commemorative picture on the "big rock". This year we vetoed the fake-cutting-down-a-tree/drive-a-long-way-to-take-a-picture-on-a-rock to instead drive a long way to walk up and down the streets of Columbia! We always have a great time and even found some new places to take pictures in front of.
Do I feel another tradition coming on??? :)
Here we are in front of the very popular "red wagon". How fun!
The crazy Harden kids by the lovely gazebo.
There are many rocks to be climbed and Dave did his impression of Cliffhanger/I'm dying.
The whole gang.
Fun times. Thanks everyone for such a great trip home! Love you all & miss you!
