I love ____ in the Spring time... I love _____ in the fall...

Being a Californian, I am the end-all for anything anyone should ever know about summer. I lived in the land of eternal effing sunshine for 19.o277 years of my 19.41666 years of life. But this Thanksgiving was not only the first Holiday I'd ever spent with my paternal relatives (excepting this one holiday that may have been thanksgiving where I have a vague memory of my Aunt Robin sleeping in the front room.) but also the first time I'd ever seen real fall.
Maryland, Bethesda to be more precise, was blustery and freezing and moments away from Washington D.C. For all those reasons it was perfect. I wore my Georgetown best, and looked and felt wonderfully at home(except when my Dad turned down a very prominent though fortunately not overcrowded one way street in the wrong direction.). Finally I had an excuse to wear my pendleton- and I needed every warm, wooly thread.

My only regret is that I had to go home two days early- meaning I got to wake up at 4am and drive 8 hours to go to work at 3pm that same day.- and also that I forgot my gloves and hat, because did I mention that it was really super cold?
