Thanksgiving 2011

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Last Monday, we left for Columbia to spend a few days with my parents. It was so nice to be able to relax and hang out with my family.

On Wednesday night we went to Laurens to have dinner at my uncle's house.

On Thursday morning we headed down to Wadmalaw Island to spend the rest of the week with Ryan's family. The house we stayed in was on the marsh, and it was absolutely beautiful. The weather was in the 70s and 80s the whole time we were there. On Thursday morning we had brunch and spent the rest of the day outside. That night we had traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

On Friday, we braved the crowds, and did a little shopping in downtown Charleston. Taking an eight week old shopping on Black Friday is not easy! I think I'll have to get a babysitter next year. On Saturday we drove to Kiawah and had lunch on the Ocean Course, and that night we had an oyster roast and watched the game.

We got back to Greenville around 6:30 last night. By the time we unpacked all of our bags and got settled in, it was past 12 before we went to bed. We are pretty tired, but glad to be back home. I have a lot of catching up to do this week!

Eliza is happy to be home!
