Thanksgiving 2011 | Los Angeles, California

I brought home my camera but only ended up using my phone the whole week I was home. I missed Thanksgiving last year because I was working in France, so I was so so so excited to be home this week. My dad’s turkey is epic, and my mom’s pumpkin pecan pie was unbelievable. Because I am anti-Black Friday (nothing would get me up that early to wait in line in the cold for hours), my dad and I (and our pup, Jake) wake up early and go on a morning hike the day after Thanksgiving. We usually go out to San Gabriel Valley, but because I had an afternoon flight back up to SF, we went out to Rancho Palos Verdes and hiked along the Burma Road Trail. 

So many people and things to be thankful for, so many.
