A More Mellow Thanksgiving

We Bankheads have a tradition of camping over Thanksgiving. Two years ago, we were so cold that we cut our trip down from three nights to two. Last year we were so cold we cut our trip from two nights to one. This year we went completely soft and canceled our camping trip all together (rain in the forecast, Amy's pregnant, family here from out of town, blah, blah, blah . . . ). To appease our guilty consciences, we took several day trips instead, hiking with friends around cool local places we hadn't been before, finding big views and a cool swing hanging from an oak tree. We missed camping, but not enough to regret ending each night in the hot tub followed by our own warm beds.
