I didn’t want to eat a bucket of chicken in the hotel room for Thanksgiving this year, so I spent some time finding us a place to eat. I had made dinner reservations at a nice white-tablecloth restaurant called the Switchback Grill. They were doing a buffet for Thanksgiving Dinner. We paid up front when we checked in and got a table, ordered some wine and headed for the food. It was all good and we enjoyed a nice, peaceful dinner of turkey and trimmings. I missed being at home, but this was a lovely alternative.
I have a great deal to be thankful for – being able to do this trip is just the first. My husband and kids, my mom, the rest of my family and friends. Even though most of them were scattered across the world, I am thankful for all of them in my life. We have enjoyed taking the time to really see the world around us and to explore it. Driving across the country has changed the way I think about it. Just traveling through all that space is life-altering.
I hope that all of you are enjoying your time with family or friends, that you have a measure of peace and love at this time of year!
