Family Time

[Shaffer Fam]

Nathan and I got to go home for Thanksgiving. We love getting to go home to the absolutely beautiful NW, as well as getting to see family. And lucky for us, that's what this trip home was all about. Nathan took a couple vacation days from work, as well as the ones he was already going to have off, and we flew home on Tuesday morning. Nice thing about living in LA is that it only takes a couple of hours to fly home. (Although, we did have to get up at 4:10am to make it to the airport for our flight, then we had a layover in Reno before flying on into Portland) We got to spend parts of 5 days at home before flying back on Saturday.
Highlights of the trip:
