Hello everyone :) We're gonna do two blog posts this week because last week was Fall Break and I was feeling especially lazy (probably from eating way too much but whatever). Penn State closes its University Park campus for the full Thanksgiving week, and since my mom had to go down to Virginia this year to visit her spouse's family, I took the entire week to head back to NJ and spend time with all three houses there (mom's, dad's, Dan's parent's). I hung out with my Momma at first; she made an awesome homecoming dinner for me and we played a full game (AKA ~3 hours worth) of Mexican Train, a domino game that apparently is related to another game called Chicken Foot. We also got to go out one night just us girls - my mom, sister, and I visited my maternal grandpa's favorite Italian restaurant for some homemade pasta and other yummy carbs.
