Thanksgiving Recap

From A:

J and I enjoyed an extended Thanksgiving break this year.  It all began with a wonderful Thanksgiving meal in my parents' backyard.  We had beautiful weather, with the high temperature being about 80 degrees (the thermometer in the yard reads a little on the warm side):



Instead of turkey, we continued our Thanksgiving steak tradition.  This year the grill master cooked a delicious flank steak.  But first we had to kill the cow:



Just kidding!  Our range practice was purely recreational.  However, the previous picture would make an interesting Vera Bradley advertisement, right?!

Anyway, here's what the steak looked like (yum!):


After Thanksgiving, J traveled to Boston to present at a conference.  He also did some sightseeing, including  having dinner at the German brewhouse called Jacob Wirth, which is the second-oldest restaurant in Boston:



I was able to spend the week with my parents.  We did a lot of shopping, including some much-needed Christmas gift shopping.  Additionally, we went on a historic tour of Pensacola on an 1880s replica streetcar.  We had a private tour that consisted of 66 different places of interest, including a stop for gelato at Joe Patti's World Famous Seafood Market:



It was a great week - but it went by way too fast!
