Thanksgiving Day, Madeira Beach, Florida

We spent a quiet Thanksgiving day near our campground in St. Petersburg. The kids slept in before we headed for Madeira Beach, only a couple of miles from the KOA. With temperatures hovering around 70 and a cool breeze coming off the gulf, it was an ideal way to spend the afternoon. The kids dug a giant hole in the sand, fed the seagulls again, and collected shells. As you can see in the picture on the right, Laura also invented a new Yoga texting plan! ;-)

A quick stop back at the trailer to change clothes and walk Rocky, and we were off to Perkins for Thanksgiving dinner. For $11 a person we had Butterball turkey with all the trimmings including dessert (pumpkin or apple pie). We felt a little guilty not doing dishes afterwards, but got over it quickly and decided might never cook Thanksgiving dinner again! ;-)

We finished the evening back at the trailer with a rousing game of Scrabble – Laura’s first ever win in a highly contested battle where everyone finishing within 15 points of the lead! Another episode of North and South, and we were off to bed.

As we drove on I-10 today from spending Thanksgiving in Florida back home to Texas, we passed your family on the road. I hopped on our blackberry to pull up your blog, and couldn't help but smile as I started to read some of the stories you are sharing about your family's adventures. Looks like fun - thanks for sharing!
