Philip Allison Assignment 14

This Thanksgiving my family and I went to Carmel, New York, but my Thanksgiving break and its neighboring days were taken up by driving. Seven hours to Raleigh for a soccer tournament, seven hours back two days later. I was home for about an hour when I picked up Henry and drove an hour and a half to Louisville for KYA. After surviving KYA, we rode the bus an hour and a half back, but then left for New York that day. 12 hour drive, Siri tells me. But anyway, my cousins' grandparents have a house up there, and we go off and on. We went two years ago, and it was a winter wonderland, a white Thanksgiving, but sadly this year there the snow was leaving as we were arriving. We went for hikes and spent time relaxing with la familia. When we don't make the 12 hour trek, we eat dinner with my parents' Irish friends (ironically). It seems they slightly understand Thanksgiving, as I recall eating lamb more often then not.
