We headed for Antioch, California (home of Wanda, Stef’s maternal grandmother) on Thursday morning. Never again are we traveling on Thanksgiving day, it was a pretty bad idea: We were doing 20mph for over one and a half hours, on I-80 after Sacramento. There was a lot of traffic, and it just sucked.
After we finally got there, we unloaded and had dinner, and nothing out of the ordinary, really.
On Friday, I woke up at around 6am, and I just knew that no one would be up until at least 9, so I went out to see what Black Friday was all about. I went into Best Buy and found out that hundreds of other people felt were doing the same thing, and a couple hundred others were buying stuff. The lines for check-out were horrendously long, so of course I didn’t buy anything. The few deals that interested me were not good enough to stand in line for an hour. I did get to play on the PS3 though! And also got some Guitar Hero action in :haw:
I also went by Circuit City, which wasn’t as bad as Best Buy, but was pretty busy anyways. I didn’t see anything worthy of being in line for a long time either, so I didn’t buy anything there.
Friday was also Gary’s birthday, and we went and saw Stranger than Fiction to celebrate. It was a good movie, but not something I would have picked.
Later that night we had crabs, for dinner. We had to crush the legs and all, it was messy but tasty.
On Saturday noon we decided to head back to Reno, and we planned our trip a bit better as to avoid traffic congestions. It also happened to be convenient that there was an Ethiopian restaurant in the way, so we had lunch there :) And the rest of the trip was pretty short and easy, specially since Stef was driving and I took a nap. I woke up blocks away from home. :shobon:
