Turkey, Le Cumbre & Bon Voyage Colorado!!!!

The Lady's folks live in Santa Barbara....not a bad place to spend holidays and other times off of the normal schedule. I have probably said that before on here but.....there ya' have it. It was my first Thanksgiving with her family and we had a great time. The whole trip was a much needed break from school and work. I was socializing? Yeah....not used to that. Being out and about from morning till night you would think that I would interact with a ton of people but being in the zone I have become somewhat of a hermit on the go. So I had the opportunity to talk with a lot of people out there which was refreshing. I feel more natural that way...more alive. As mentioned before I have tuned my future schedule to allow for more refreshing experiences of this sort.
We got some quality miles in on our bikes out there as well. One of the rides we did was Le Cumbre peak which proved to be quite long and difficult given my lack of exercise lately....but really fun at the same time. Below is a picture of the view from the top looking down on Santa Barbara....as well as a picture of my Lady, Father-in-Law and I.
As for Bon Voyage Colorado.....we were at a beautiful home on the mountain our last night in Santa Barbara. A wonderful friend threw a going away party for my in-laws (they are heading out on a year long RV trip across the Americas....more to add in the future I am sure). Anyway, we were leaving at 4 in the morning the next day so were left the party a little early. As we were saying our goodbyes....say.....someone like Pierce Brosnan's twin brother came up to us and in the thickest accent possible said Bon Voyage, Colorado!!!! And we were off!
