The Weekend After Thanksgiving In Blowing Rock, NC

Lyn’s good friend Shannon invited up to her parents house in Blowing Rock, NC for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately the kids were a little sick so we waiting until Saturday morning and headed her way for the night. We had an absolute blast hanging out with her family. Paige and Claire got to meet Sam and Katie for the first time. Saturday was lunch in Blowing Rock and the Christmas parade. It started to rain right before the parade but that wasn’t going to stop all of us from seeing Santa Clause. Lyn, Shannon, Sam, and Claire stayed in the car while the rest of us flooded the streets waiting for Santa.

After the parade we headed back to the house for everyone to take a little nap (including myself). We had a fantastic dinner which included Gumbo (the Mississippians made some awesome Gumbo), chicken potpie, potato salad, and desert. Another day of feeding my face. After dinner we all watched football, drank some good wine, and eventually went to bed.

Sunday morning we all said our goodbyes and we were off to find our Christmas tree. Once at one of our favorite tree farms it only took about 30 minutes of searching and we found our new Christmas tree. We cut it down, loaded it on the car, and the Griswold were on their way back to Asheville. What a great weekend!

Make your own comments. I’m just posting a photo of what was in Trent’s drink at lunch.
