Part 2/5:

The conversation quickly turns to Thanksgiving plans. One friend reveals an intriguing plan to visit his wife’s childhood home in Boston. The excitement is palpable, amplified by the notion that this location holds special memories for him and his family. Reveling in nostalgia, he describes how his children adore visiting Boston, particularly because homes there often feature basements—something rare in California.

For the children, the basement becomes a realm of imagination, a magical clubhouse where they can engage in playful Nerf gun battles, enhancing their overall experience. Further, the excitement builds as he mentions a family tradition: heading to Dunkin' Donuts with their uncle. The delight is evident, as the kids are allowed to choose whatever pastries they desire.
