Thanksgiving in NC
While I’m not in any hurry to travel, I always try to make time to see family during the holidays while I’m in the US. It’s rare that my entire family can attend events anymore.
This Thanksgiving, I drove to my Aunt’s home in Virginia and caught a ride to North Carolina, driving through the countryside to my grandmother’s home.
This post will be tremendously short, since it’s less of a travel-post and more of a familial gathering.
Around Grandma’s Home
At Grandma’’s home, we spent a lot of our time sitting around, eating incredible amounts of food, preparing Thanksgiving dinner and playing games which required a lot of people and humor. I met uncles, aunts, cousins, siblings and grandma, whittling hours away while catching up with everyone’s lives.
During evenings, we walked along the sides of lakes and into the nearby golf courses. On other occasions, we picked up snacks and lounged often.
Returning to DC
As mentioned, this was a short trip. It didn’t involve much wandering and exploring. As far as travel-vacations go, it was simply enormously restorative.
For now, I’m content. I’d rather not do too many trips over the next couple of months and instead focus on work that needs to be wrapped up.
So until then,
Best regards and excellent trails,
Old Sean
