Thanksgiving Hike 2010

For several years running (actually, make that nine years), we've enjoyed skipping the madness at the airport and have instead spent Thanksgiving at home. For the past three years, this tradition has included celebrating with friends on Friday, which leaves Turkey Day open for adventures. This year, the weather didn't disappoint, so we headed up to Tilden Park in Berkeley for a hike.

We hadn't even made it out of the parking lot before the fun began, with Will hunting for pinecones (sometimes referred to as pineapples!) in the circle of trees in the center of the lot. After nearly a half an hour, Will was satisfied that he had amassed a sufficient collection, and was off and running!
