Like I said, I have a lot of catching up to do on here and one topic that must be blogged about is my wonderful Thanksgiving in San Francisco. Don't get me wrong, coming home would have been great, but I had an amazing time with my family on the West Coast!
I drove down to the Bay Area (about an 8 hour drive) Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a few close friends from school. On the drive we:
- Experienced the Cascade Mountain Range in the fog.
- Drove past Mt. Shasta (I-5 runs really close to the base).
- Ate at In-N-Out Burger- a California chain which I had never experienced before.
- Listened to (probably) an unhealthy amount of the Glee soundtrack.
The trip went smoothly and I made it to my cousins' house just around dinnertime. They actually live in the East Bay, across the bay from San Francisco, and have an awesome view of the city from their living room.
I was also greeted by these handsome fellows:
(Jerry [Garcia] and Freddy [Mercury])
In typical Thanksgiving fashion, we ate too much great food and zoned out to football. Perfect.
I also got my urban fix by spending Black Friday downtown San Francisco followed by tasty Chinese food in Chinatown. Heaven. Saturday, we hit the outlets and I got a personalized tour of Cal's campus. Here's a photo from Lawrence Hall of Science:
Moral of this story: I have an absolutely amazing family and I am extremely grateful for their hospitality.
