Thanksgiving

December 5, 2005 | Filed Under atlanta, family, travel 

It’s been a busy couple weeks, and I’ve been a slacker about posting. Sorry about that. I added the aquarium post but didn’t write about the rest of our trip home for Thanksgiving. So, here goes.

We flew in pretty late Tuesday evening, and by late I mean we got back to Marietta after midnight late. We went to the aquarium on Wednesday and then had dinner at our favorite Atlanta Mexican restaurant, Sala, with my mom. We then met Taylor and her friends at Don Pablo’s for a quick round of charades where I won best comedic impression of a thug rapper, and then saw “Rent” at Parkway Pointe. That was late night #2. On Thursday, Ashley got up early (before noon, early morning #1) to cook her most requested Thanksgiving dish – apple pie. Memama came over around noon, and we ate Thanksgiving dinner around 3:00. Marc and Amelia came by around 4:00, so that Amelia could have the squash casserole she had been craving all day. (It’s okay to admit it, Amelia.) And Ashley and I left for Newnan around 4:45 for our second Thanksgiving dinner at Jana’s. Jana went all out for Thanksgiving with more than enough to eat for all twelve of us. She even included a chocolate fountain.

We left Newnan around 10:00…Late night #3. On Friday, we did absolutely nothing most of the day and then met up with our good friends Annie and Brenton for dinner and some good quality time at Atlantic Station. We got back a little earlier than the rest of the week, but it was still rather late. I’ll say late night #4. On Saturday, I went to Newnan to spend some more time with my grandparents, Dad, Jana, Spencer, and even Matt for 5 minutes or so. Ashley spent the day with her mom and grandmother. We met back at the Osborne’s around 6:00 to get ready for the UGA/Georgia Tech game. Uncle Jerry Brown came over just in time for delicious nachos. And though Georgia barely edged out Tech, we did come away with a win… late. Late night #5.

I flew out early Sunday morning, and Ashley left for Charlotte on Monday (early mornings #2 and 3.)
