This year we flew to southern Oregon for the Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed spending time with the family including my grandparents. Thanksgiving day we all gathered at my great aunt Leta's house for afternoon dinner and dessert. Friday, my mom and I woke up early, but not too early, to do some holiday shopping.
The rest of Friday our friend Chelsea drove Matt and I to
Ashland for the afternoon. We walked the plaza, spent some time at
Paddington's and had lunch at Alex's. Some of our favorite things. After the sun went down we stayed for the
Ashland Festival of Light parade and city lights ceremony. We watched all the Occupy hippies walk down the street protesting their crazy ideas mixed with some holiday music as the whole town came out to participate. All the years we lived in
Ashland we never attended the annual event for one reason or another so this was a fun treat!
Saturday we hung out with my grandparents playing
dominoes and catching up from the past year. Sunday we woke up early and drove back to
Ashland one last time for breakfast at our
favorite early joint Brother's. We had our usual, the
bagel and lox with capers plate for two. We walked the SOU campus so Matt could rekindle his time spent dedicated to his undergrad. Now that he's an alumni, we decided to see the alumni house on campus. We took a few pics, said our goodbyes, and left our memories of a moment in time behind for the next chapter of adventures.
