We had much to be thankful for this last Thanksgiving. My older brother, "The Doctor(The Burbs reference)," was kind enough to drive nearly 6 hours from their current home in Connecticut to our place in little'ol Virginia. He brought his lovely family, including his wonderful wife, Lisa, and the two kids. They arrived safely Thursday evening just after I returned from cooking our turkey at our friends home. I know, your thinking, "why cook the bird at a friends place?" Well, the answer is simple. We were blessed with a total power outage when the turkey was about 30 minutes from being cooked. We called up our SUPER NICE friends, Jeff and Carrie, and asked if we could use their oven. They just happened to be frying their bird this year. Wow, we were saved. The power went on just as I was driving home from our friends.
The rest of the weekend was spent doing fun things with the kids and spending some quality time with my bro. The pics are here. We went downtown and visited the Museum of Natural History where we saw dinosaurs, the "Hope Diamond," and lots of sparkly rocks. We did not have enough time to see even half of the museum, so we agreed there will need to be another visit to D.C.
My hat goes off to my brother and sister-in-law for being such patient and truly loving parents. We hope to be able to visit them at their place in the near future.
