I went home for Thanksgiving again this year. I know my family looks forward to seeing me, but I regularly joke that if I didn't go home, they wouldn't have Thanksgiving because I typically cook the entire thing. This year my sister in law and brother assisted and my sister and her husband purchased the pies as well as provide the cooking location and utensils.
I had been looking forward to this weekend for quite some time as I don't see my entire family more than once or twice a year. Maybe that seems normal to some, but not to me. It sucks to me. As hard as it is to leave sunny and warm South Florida and the little Gizmo-butt, I start a 2 month countdown and get very giddy about it. This trip to Chicago I finally had a chance to not be bored on the plane - I had accidentally booked the same trip as my friend, Josh Gordon.
So now, without further ado (and with a crap-ton of post-travel editing), please enjoy the live-blog of my trip home for Thanksgiving this year:
