Thanksgiving weekend
Thanksgiving weekend found us on the road - and for many hours. As soon as Mame rolled in from High Point on Wednesday afternoon, we piled into the van for the trip to Mt. Pleasant and Thanksgiving festivities with Glenn & Maxine, Jake & Erin, and our old family friends the Del Benes. It was a great day and a terrific meal.
On Friday Mame & I struck out for Tallahassee while Sam stayed behind to entertain his grandparents. Our destination was a wedding for friends Demian & Maggie. I worked with Demian at FAVACA and Mame knew him in middle school. We met Maggie early in their courtship and we all did some canoeing together. We knew she was a keeper when she tolerated a day long trip with our toddler. The wedding was Saturday afternoon at Wakulla Springs State Park and everything was picture perfect.
Sunday morning we got back on the road and made a pit stop in Mt. Pleasant to collect Sam and get one more treat of good home cooking before making the final push to Cary last night. Our big thanks to Glenn & Maxine for the hospitality and Sam-free time.
