After working a shift from 12-5 on black Friday I hitched a ride from Bobby, who was somehow not sick of me after the night before (PS, my crumble was a hit! Even with Mireille who doesn't like nuts!). He gave me a ride to the 19th Street BART station and I booked it as fast as I could over to SFO on the other side of the bay. The trip was hurried but luckily there was barely anyone at the airport and I checked in and got a coffee with relative ease. Once in Vegas I had a warm welcome from Chelsea, Brandon, Kris and Geoff. It was a crowded but snugly ride back to their place while I learned of the Thanksgiving madness that had occurred not 24 hours prior.
To shorten that up, everyone got real drunk, Kris and Geoff slept on couches, Chelsea gambled, Everyone got kicked out of a casino. But that is someone elses story and therefore I am movin on.
Since all my lame-sauce friends were hungover, we just decided to spend a relaxing evening catching up and drinking wine in the hot tub! I admittedly had no issues with the plan.
Saturday rolled around and it was Thanksgiving mock 2. Tons of The Mitchell Family's friends showed up and I got to see a bunch of people that I thought I would miss out on! The feast was magnificent and the beverages were flowing. We had planned on going to Joe's (Kris' best friend) Blacklight party later in the evening but had nothing to wear so Chelsea and I sewed some dresses quickly out of mens XL tee-shirts.
This somehow turned into a sewing lesson for Sojo and another little girl and then everyone was dressed for party time. The 23-26 year olds headed out to the party filled with food and ready for dancing and the rest of the night was a redbull/vodka fueled adventure.
Sunday was the painful drive home. But we got to stop in SB to say hi to Kat and Ava, so there was a nice little plus side. Sadly, we got going to late in the day and didn't get in until 8pm, which meant no crushcakes for me. . . bummer. Then we left Geoff's and were back in the Bay area before 6am.
And just like that, Thanksgiving weekend came to a close. Not with a bang but with a really full snore.
