Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2005 finds us at Fiesta Key FL enjoying warm and sunny weather conditions. You may have read in an earlier post that Bryan joined us Tuesday evening~ well some of you may not know he is the TURKEY FRYING MAN in the family. This is the third Thanksgiving running that I have had turkey fried by B for Thanksgiving and I'm happy that Richard is with us this year to experience it.
We decided that last night would be a good time to fry the bird... it was delicious! B had brought along a nice bottle of Merlot, a 1997 Napa Ridge Reserve. We also had fresh tomatoes and avocado slices. For dessert we went over to the little cafe and had gingerbread. Not the old traditional Thanksgiving feast of years past, but it is fun to use this extended time off from work to travel and do something a little different.
We stayed last night (and will again tonight) at the KOA here on Fiesta Key. You can visit the web site at www.fiestakeykoa.com for more information. I spoke to my mom this morning, apparently she and my dad have stayed here before so it was easy for her to picture where we are and what we are doing.
Oscar and Anna (Bryan's pups) are well seasoned travelers and VERY well behaved dogs. They are a joy to have along.
