The day itself was quite beautiful. Just before leaving I took a quick photograph of a hot air balloon that was traveling north from Gilroy.

Thanksgiving was a small and intimate affair with only Grandpa O and D's friend A joining us for the mini-feast. We first ran off to see the Harry Potter sequel. I will say right off, I liked the first one better. Something about sitting in the very first row and tilting my head in the most awkward position may have tainted my opinion.

Afterwards, we played a little mah jong before sitting down to a very filling and pleasant meal.
