My Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing. We drove to Cincinnati to spend time with my husbands family. We also saw family members from Kentucky and Florida. It is sooo nice to see and spend time with the family members that you normally only see every few years, but when you see them you realize how much you actually miss them.
Thanksgiving morning I started my holiday with a 10k run. Which is 6.2 miles. It was an amazing race. Running through the streets of Cincinnati Ohio and Newport Kentucky with 2 of my family members and 18,000 other people the energy around me was so exciting. Talk about a way to get the adrenaline pumping. Crossing the finish line with thousands of people cheering and music blaring it was the perfect finish to a wonderful run.
Then we had the best Thanksgiving dinner. My father in law and husband cooked which is the normal in our family. It was the biggest dinner with everything you could possibly want on for a dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing everything homemade nothing instant or out of a box which is what I would probably get if I had gone to my side of the family. We finished the day off with some homemade cheesecake. Talk about gaining 10 pounds in one day.
Even though the weekend was extra long the time still flies by so fast. Before I knew it, it was time to come home. Saying goodbye is always hard, especially when you know it is possible that it will probably be at least a couple more years before you see your family members again.
sounds like you had a wonderful thanksgiving break :) i got to see family that i havnt seen in a few years as well, it is very nice but really sad, just like you said, because you realize it will be a few more years before you see them again. I hope you christmas break is just as wonderful!
