Thanksgiving Weekend 2008

Here's a brief rundown of Thanksgiving 2008.

Wednesday night while Big J was at the Panther/Devils game with his dad, Lil J and I attended a potluck party at our friends house. My Bourbon Dogs were a hit.

Thursday morning, my running buddy and I headed to Tamarac for the 28th Annual Turkey Trot 5K. Her husband biked along with us and took some great photos and she finished in under 37 minutes and I finished at 37. Not bad for our first run.

Thursday afternoon and evening was spent at my in-laws with Tutu, PopPop, H&J, M&S, D and the kids. Dinner was excellent and we all went home with leftovers.

Friday...hmmm...I'm drawing a blank. OH yeah...We went to see the Panthers practice at the stadium and then went to 5 Guys Burgers. In the evening, we went out on the boat with our new friend Eric from Miami and with my parents. We toured around to see Christmas lights and had dinner at Southport Raw Bar. We are becoming regulars.

Saturday I got up at 4:45am for what was supposed to be a 9 mile run. It ended up being a 3 mile run and a 7.5 mile walk. My knee was killing me so I had to walk most of it. Walking led to new sorts of pain including blisters on both feet. I rested most of the afternoon and we headed out to dinner and to do a little shopping at Target.

Sunday, Big J went to play football and Lil J and I had breakfast at Bernies. We spent most of the day just lounging around the house because it was raining out. We headed to Dave & Busters at 5pm to meet up with some of Big J's high school friends but no one showed so we played some games and had dinner and headed home.

It's hard to believe that it's already December.
