For the first time in 6 years, I made it back to Minnesota for Thanksgiving. One of the big highlights of the time was taking my family out to dinner. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but it is to me. With my parents always treating the family to dinners throughout my life, and with my brother occasionally offering as well, I wanted to have that moment. I've never financially been in a situation where I can do things like that, so I wanted to save for the opportunity to treat my family to something fun.
With my brother's suggestion, my parents, my brother, Kristen and I went to Smack Shack in downtown Minneapolis. We each ordered our own dishes, but it ended up being pretty family style - everyone trying things that everyone else ordered, and there was lots of great conversation and laughter.
This was exactly what I had in mind when I put this on the list - a fun, enjoyable feast with the family.
It was perfect.
