It’s been a few years since we’ve spent Thanksgiving with the family in Southern California. Generally, we stay at the beach house on Seal Beach when we come. It’s the perfect venue for the family events. Equipped with 14 tiny bedrooms, each with twin sized bed, a sink, bedside table, and flashlight. Oh yeah, AND a crucifix. Did I mention that the house belongs to the nuns?
In anticipation of a grand adventure, I took the day off from work. Since YaYa’s school only had a half day scheduled, I considered taking him out for the day. Unfortunately, his teachers decided to schedule tests. On the day before Thanksgiving! I would be less inclined to complain but this same school has scheduled “Bishop’s Day Off” on Monday. If they’d asked me, I’d have suggested that the Bishop take Wednesday off instead. *sigh*
ANYWAY, we hit the road at the same time the rest and began heading down south…
