Thanksgivng 2013

We had a really great Thanksgiving this year.

Wednesday was spent in full baking mode, with 2 pies, rolls, banana bread, and pizza being made.  It makes me tired just thinking about this day again.

Thursday we woke up really early and drove up to Augusta Georgia to be with Paige and her cute little family.  We had a great time with them, and her Uncle and his wife.  We ate, and laughed a lot.

On Friday Paige and I did a little black Friday shopping.  We aren't into the big crowds so we left at 8 in the morning and had a pleasant, non stressful time shopping.  With this trip I can officially say that we are done with Christmas shopping.  Then we went and picked up Ryan, Andy, Vince, and Ellie and we all went to Costco and enjoyed the free samples, and had lunch.

On our drive back to Florida we stopped in Savannah and St. Simon's Island Georgia.  Also we drove into South Carolina just to say that we've been to that state.

Savannah was kind of a bust.  Just really worn down, kind of scary and not really worth the 15 minute detour.  There was a big bridge that Andy was excited to drive across, and so we did that.

What Ellie thought of Savannah

The Bridge!

St. Simon's Island however was SO beautiful!  We got there just as the sun setting and it was breathtaking to see the sunset.  We played at the park for a little while and I had the best, most comforting feeling.  Usually when we do something fun as a a family I feel sad, because Thomas isn't there, but this time I felt completely happy.  I could feel that he was there with us and that we were all enjoying this beautiful place together.  It was so wonderful.
