Holidays Away from Home

Yesterday, I arrived in Oregon to spend the holidays with my family. It's so pleasing to be away from home for a little bit. I arrived early in Portland at 6:30 a.m. and it was still dark, but by the time I got out of the airport, the sun had risen. The first thing I did when I got home was crawl in bed and slept for 9 straight hours, then I went shopping for a bit but I had to go back home because I couldn't deal with traffic, crowds and cold weather, so I went back home, and crashed all over again.

This morning, I was reminded why I love the holidays away from home, gingerbread houses and everything is seasonal even the coffee. I woke up this morning to the great smell of Peet's Holiday Blend coffee, a bold blend of chocolate and berries. I also had slices of Panettone that I found at the World Market. One of my favorite stores second to Trader Joe's.
I'll take more pictures later on, I've been pretty lazy about doing anything! Well, I'm on vacation and I don't even feel like snapping my camera.
