Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year for three reasons, friends, family, and food. That’s probably why everyone likes to come home for the holiday. While I managed to gain 3 ½ pounds while I was back in Chicago for 5 days I also got to catch up with everyone I miss on a constant basis.
A joint Thanksgiving dinner with my family and my best friend’s family. Lunch in the suburbs with a reporter who I used to work with, drinks at a friend’s house overlooking the city, then off to a nightclub for a high school reunion, and late night eating at our favorite 4am joint. A shopping date with my mom, an engagement party, a wild night of dancing. Brunch with family friends, a relaxing two hours while watching New Moon, then a stir fry dinner, and a quick drive along Lakeshore Drive to admire the city. A doctor’s appointment, more shopping, lunch with grandma, and back to the airport.
A busy weekend but I wouldn’t have changed a thing because there’s no place like home…lesson learned.
