Thanksgiving Eve

We will be off to Dallas this afternoon as soon as Bonnie can get away from work. Me, I've been on vacation yesterday and today, and now....four days away together. We will be staying just across the street from the Grapevine Mills Mall, Black Friday here we come.

Tomorrow morning we meet my future son-in-law, Scott, and my daughter, Lindsey early in the morning. Scott will be driving us to the 41st annual Dallas Turkey Trot....they are supposed to be the Granddaddy of all Trots, the first numero uno. My daughter is not running and will be going to her Mom's to "do some baking", omg...."Susie Homemaker" look out. The Turkey Trot is a biggie race (I had to confirm this number), they are expecting over 30,000 to run....it's only an 8 mile run!!!!

We got a call from my daughter last night asking if we wanted to go to the Dallas Cowboy football game tomorrow afternoon....I think they play the Seattle Seahawks and somehow they have some very good seats and free parking, so we said sure. Neither of us have ever been to a Dallas game so a virgin experience for both of us.

After the game we head to Scott's parents home for Thanksgiving Day feast.

Then the all-mighty Black Friday...Dallas style, should be a blast, remember I do like to shop.

May your Thanksgiving be a special time for you and yours, give thanks for what you have and remember those less fortunate, and never forget our brave men and women serving our great country abroad so that we can enjoy the freedom that we have today. Love you all.

30,000 is a LOT of people for a race.

Have a wonderful trip and enjoy your Thanksgiving and all your blessings. :-)

Have a safe trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. It sounds like you have some great plans. Have fun at the big race!

30,000! I hope those are split between several separate races! Otherwise that's a lot of people to pass to get to the #1 spot. ;)

Don't eat to make up for the race, now. Have a great Thanksgiving.
