Day 51: A Lonely Lovely Thanksgiving



We had been planning all along to make it to Sac-Town for Thanksgiving… but when offered to stay in HB for 4 more days by ourselves, we could not pass this opportunity up! It goes without saying that could defiantly live here. Plus, although we have been on this trip together for like 2 months, we were alone for very little of it… and sometimes married people need some alone time… especially when they are about to move in with my parents for the next 5 weeks. So we made the difficult decision to have Thanksgiving by ourselves. 
Jon decided that he was going all out and started to prep the turkey 2 days in advance. 

Thursday was spent in the kitchen together cooking. Jon hit a grand slam with his super moist turkey and he also made a to-die-for berry pie.  I made cranberries from scratch for the first time and took care of the rest of the sides. I was most pleased with the gravy- it turned out awesome.

 Good thing we went on a run on the beach this AM!  It gave us lots of room to go crazy. We mostly slept off this feast for the rest of the day... that and we got addicted to Hell on Wheels on Netflix.
