Atlanta, Smoky Mountains, & Thanksgiving Fun



We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends, and to be able to visit them in our off season.  Highlights, let's see: Mom and I made our first turkey together and it was fabu!, also my first Thanksgiving home since high school, the sunsets at Bodega Bay, Gracie standing on a huge burl on a giant redwood, the cumin spiced lamb curry with mint sauce, and hanging with Grandma & Grandpa drinking his home brew. In Tennessee: our expedition in the Smokies and the bear sightings, Isaac's Superman suit, that yummy steak dinner (Thank you Grandma Koehlinger!), disco dancing video clips at the mirror maze, and the card games with muscadine.  Atlanta rocked the house with the best food in the world, literally, including the best apple pie in the world on the way to the lake house, the view from Brian's lake house, accidentally pulling ashore about four seconds before it became pitch black, the bloody mary making competition that I barely won, and having my face hurt from laughing so hard all week long.
