On a lighter note

Brian and I went to Thanksgiving in Florida this year. We weren't sure we were going to be able to go due to the housing situation but we ended up making it down.

We had a blast. We left Wednesday night at about 5 and got to our hotel at about 12:30am. We stayed at a hotel on Wednesday and Thursday night and his moms house on Friday night do to how many people were coming for turkey day. Our hotel room was just what we needed and the hot, complimentary breakfast was better then I expected. Brian and I both had egg and cheese sandwiches on Thursday and Friday morning.

Thursday we got to his moms at about 10 in the morning and had your typical Thanksgiving day. Played with the nephew and great nephews, hung out with the nieces, ate way too much food, teased the Dallas fan even though they won :(.

Friday we went to the zoo and then the girls (sister in law and nieces) went to panera and shopping for some dresses that my nieces would wear to my wedding. Another fun, low key...no stress day.

Saturday we went out for breakfast and went to a lake which was beautiful. We left around 3pm on Saturday and got home just before 10pm.

For anyone wondering, we will never move to FL and will visit anytime that it is not summer. It was WAY to hot :)

Lots of pictures of the zoo and lake, not to many of people:
