Warning….this post is heavy on the food pics….clearly we ate, we drank, but we were active! A 90 minute post-Thanksgiving spin class, walks and a ranch hike. So much packed into a short few days. With temps in the high 60’s, it could not have been better. Can’t wait to do it all again in less than 3 weeks, I’ll be fasting until then! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday weekend surrounded by family and friends!
