I'm usually not one for going out of town during the holidays, but when my friend Ashley invited me to spend Thanksgiving weekend, 2005 in Cabo San Lucas with her and her family, I had to accept. We left at 7am from the frosty weather of Seattle and by 3 were lounging poolside in Cabo. While Thanksgiving was a little different those I am used to, it was complete with a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie - courtesy of Ashley's always prepared mom and the local Costco. The day after Thanksgiving, when most Seattle-ites are getting up early to hit the shops, watching football, and indulging on leftovers, Ashley's family and I took at little adventure and went ATV-ing on the beach. (ATV stands for = all terrain vehicles). I was a novice at ATV-ing which are basically like 4-wheeled dirtbikes you race. Our ATV experience was pretty exciting, we rode along narrow desert trails, through sand dunes paralleling the beach, and finally alongside the ocean. We were in a corral of about 15, 7 of who were in our group for the weekend. We started deep in the cacti, and followed the herd out toward the beach where we had 2 hours to have a free for all! We drove up steep ridges, got stuck in
the sand a few times, and did some modest jumps and spins. Overall it was a great time, and a beautiful, warm day, it hardly felt like November, let alone the day after Thanksgiving.
