So for Thanksgiving my dad randomly decided that he was gonna drive up and see me.

It was a little surprising but the holiday ended up being so much better than I had expected. I'm really glad that my dad decided to come up. And not just because he brought a pickup and is hauling a load of my crap home for me ;)

So he got here around 5-ish on Thursday and we went hunting for somewhere that would be open on the holiday for supper. We found a Denny's but passed it and ended up at a Jack in the Box for Thanksgiving Dinner. It was awesome.

So the next day of course we got up and went and mini-toured Webster, mainly the outside of stuff since everything was still closed. I think he was comforted by finally getting to see the school, and where I've been living etc.

Of course we did the touristy thing, and went to the Cathedral and took some pics, and then the Arch. Bad bad idea. I mean it was neat and all, and we got to see the Lewis & Clark video which was pretty good, but let me leave you with this piece of advice. Never ever Visit a National Monument on a Holiday!

After spending most of our time at the Arch waiting to take the trip to the top, we headed home and caught the second half of the Nebraska/Colorado game. After that we decided to go take some pics of the Kingshighway bridge (which we never did) and ended up in the Loop and had supper at Fitz's Bottling Co. It was good. Can I just say, Texas Chili Burger...delightful.

Then on the way home we stopped at Blockbuster to pick up Batman Begins, and yes, even Ted Drewes, haha. He couldn't resist after seeing the crowd outside at night, in the freezing cold. That alone convinced him that there must be something good enough to make him join the line of lunatics. It was funny though, there were like individuals ordering like 20 Concretes, or bags full of different shakes and things with chunks of dry ice, to take it all home for the family.

Smart though, then only one person has to look like an idiot and freeze their butts off, but everyone gets to enjoy the amazing goodness in the warmth of their home, haha. Someone sent their grandpa out, haha, how mean. He was laughing and in good spirits though. And he didn't have to use his memory, cause they gave him a list ;)

So now, break is over, but I feel happy--with a half empty apartment and a couple full days of father-daughter bonding. My dad left Saturday morning with Weezy, so at least he had some company for the ride home. He got to make it to LC in time for Thanksgiving with the Gallaway clan before most of them left, and then took off for Sidney on Sunday in the blizzard. But he made it home okay, so all is good.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a good break, and plenty of good times like I did :)
