Thanksgiving Vacation

Justin and I headed to South Georgia Thursday morning to spend Thanksgiving with our families. We decided to leave Thursday morning instead of Wednesday evening because of anticipated traffic. I think we made the right decision because traffic was fairly light.

Since Justin and I are from the same town and our parents still live there, we are able to easily spend time with both families. I eat lunch at my mother's house and Justin eats lunch at his parents' house. After lunch, I head over to celebrate Justin's and his mother's birthday. We usually eat supper with my mother and then we head back to Justin's parents' house for some visiting.

We even took Pete and Annabelle with us and they had a ball. They travel really well and seemed to enjoy exploring their old yard at my mother's house. We also took them to visit their other grandparents. They enjoyed exploring Brad and Janice's newly renovated house. I think they approved.

My sister and her family decided to take a mini vacation in Atlanta over the Thanksgiving holiday. Since Justin and I headed back to Atlanta on Saturday night, we were able to visit with them that evening and Sunday morning before they headed home. We had lunch at Flip Burger Boutique on Sunday. I figured it would be easy to get in and out of there and not spend an hour waiting for a table. We went at noon and were able to immediately be seated since they weren't super busy.

I ordered my usual po boyger and shared an order of fries with Justin. He ordered the philly burger. It's kind of neat because they use cheese foam on it. My sister and niece each ordered the bacon + cheese burger, but my niece ordered hers with only the burger, bacon, and cheese. They shared an order of fries. Paul ordered the gyro and said it was a typical gyro. He also ordered parmesan zucchini fries. I thought they were very tasty. Justin and I shared a turtle milkshake. My niece ordered one for herself, although I did drink some of it. Carrie and Paul shared a nutella and burnt marshmallow shake and seemed to enjoy it. A milkshake is such a nice ending to a yummy meal. Everyone was full and satisfied when we left.

I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas, but I like how you don't have the stress of providing the perfect gift at Thanksgiving. It's about spending time with family and eating, two of my favorite things to do.
