After being out of the area for a while I was more then happy to come back. Before arriving home on Tuesday night I had many friends call and text requesting my whereabouts. The sense of friendship and camaraderie is something that I always receive on my return trip. My core group of friends has known each other since we can remember and we plan to keep it that way. Add to the fact that my family is always supportive and yes; fun. Basically, I thoroughly enjoyed returning home for thanksgiving.

This year, my dad and I tried deep frying a turkey. We had both heard our friends raving about the taste and finally decided to do it ourselves. Despite a late start to the whole process we managed to finish before the all the other food got too cold. However, the wait was worth it and I highly recommend deep frying to anyone who hasn’t tried it.

Overall the five day break was extremely enjoyable. Friends, family, food, and cheap drinks were exactly what I needed.
