Thanksgiving In Park City: Day 2

Day two of our Utah adventure was Thanksgiving Day. It stared around 11am when we got up, snagged some breakfast, and headed to the store so I could pick up some cranberry sauce and apple juice for the meal. After that, Bacon dropped me off and headed to his family's since they were having a early afternoon Thanksgiving.

From there, the afternoon was spent setting up the house since they had about 20 people coming. The guests started arriving around 3pm, all of them my aunt and uncles friends from work and around town, so I got to meet some awesome people. A great thing about Thanksgiving here is how everyone brings a different dish, whether it's an appetizer or part of the main course.

And speaking of the food, it was phenomenal for the second year in a row. My uncle cooked a massive, delicious turkey, along with some great bacon stuffing. Some of their friends brought green bean casserole, mash potatoes, and some delicious pies for desert.

After dinner, everyone hung out and talked for awhile, then wrapped up the night at 9pm. After a little cleaning, my aunt, uncle, cousins and me played a solid game of poker (which I won), and then I just chilled for awhile until Bacon got back from his family's. However, when he got back, out night was not even close to over.

He proceeded to tell me about how the outlet malls near here opened at midnight for Black Friday, so naturally we had to check it out. We took off from here around 12:15 since we knew it would be crazy busy, and we were right. The exit for the mall was backed up at least 20 cars onto the freeway, and the entrance to the mall was backed up to the exit. It was ridiculous.

We ended up parking a couple blocks up the street and walking down to the madness that was the parking lot. I actually took a picture of it but once again, we don't have the cord so I'll upload it when I can.

We went around to some great outlet shops like Journey's, Levi's, Nike, Pacsun, Zumiez, and Vans, where we got some Half Cabs on their buy one get one half off sale (although we ended up returning them the next day, we had less money than we thought). We ended up not buying a couple things because the lines were so long for check-out it would've taken an hour just to get a shirt. We ended up hanging out there until 4:30am and the stores were still packed when we left. Needless to say, we passed right out when we got back.

The next day we planned to ride at Park City, so we probably shouldn't have stayed up so late, but it was good times at the mall and some great times at dinner, so it was all worth it. Stay tuned for the next blog about riding and some more Black Friday shenanigans. Peace.
