Wow, it's the first part of December and I'm just now getting around to updating the blog from November. We had three Thanksgiving celebrations this year. One was dinner and an art auction at Bradyn's school-daycare on base. Darren and I arrived there a little late, so we didn't get to eat, but Bradyn was once again shoveling it in! While I was snapping photos, Darren bid 30 cans on some art work B helped create. Unfortunately, someone wanted it a little more than he did.
Thanksgiving 1 & 2 |
Using a fork properly this year....tear.
The best celebration took place in Edinburgh, Scotland. Finally they have a quick Ryanair flight! Only 100 pounds round trip for the three of us. Friends Joe and Brandon (Uncle Joe and Uncle Morey) flew with us from London Stansted to Edinburgh for three days.
We took a bus from the airport to the city center. As we walked to our apartment, we saw Santa and his reindeer and a few sketchy looking elves and stopped to take some pictures. I had to sit in Santa's sleigh too.
We stayed in a large four bedroom apartment just behind Edinburgh Castle. No traditional turkey and fixings for us this year. We made beef stew and it was delicious!

The return flight home was not as much fun. There was a security breech and we had to deplane, walk back through the airport, and wait outside in the cold for a couple hours. We spent another two hours in line at security again.
We finally arrived at Stansted 5 hours later.
Overall it was an unforgettable trip and we made some great memories! Morey snapped some great shots of us, including this one, at the Edinburgh Castle Gardens.
