Nick and I went with his family to California for Thanksgiving. We finally got on the road on Wednesday and got in to Nick's Aunt Kendra's house that night. The first full day we were there was thanksgiving so we hung out at the house, played games, and ate lots of yummy food.
His aunt is the epitome of health conscious, so all we ate that day other than the main meal was a sip of breakfast, which was carrot spinach smoothie (not recommended) and then a little snack of a piece of pita bread and hummus. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being nutritious, but making a smoothie out of carrots and spinach? We told Kendra that we prefer to chew our veggies. We sort of feel sorry for her kids who have to drink various veggie+fruit smoothies every day and finish them completely. haha. Needless to say we went and bought bagels for ourself the next morning to eat the rest of the trip. On Friday, we got to try out surfing! It was a lot of fun even though we barely started standing up on our boards by the time we left the beach. We were also very thankful for the invention of wetsuits. The next day a group of us went out to lunch and saw the movie Tangled. Sunday we left to come back to Utah but got caught in a storm. It took us about 2 hours to get from St. George to Cedar City where we ended up staying the night in a hotel.
We had a very fun trip and enjoyed being able to walk around in flip flops and capris once again for a few days. And then when we got back this afternoon we shoveled our driveway reminiscing about the sunshine & warmth in California. We're hoping to go back soon.
