As you know, we normally spend Thanksgiving with Grammie and Grandad - and I'm sure we will again. We did in fact see them.... Rob, you Steve and I went down the next day and went to the Museum of the American Revolution downtown in Philadelphia, wandered the Willow Grove Mall and had dinner with Aunt Julie and Mark (newly returned from a visit to Oman and Doha), Meagan and baby Julian.
Really, Thanksgiving was was ssoooo nice. I didn't have to cook, except for baking a couple pies which I enjoyed. We had a reasonable, 45 minute drive up to the Hazleton area to a lovely restaurant Top of the Eighties. I have always wanted to go there, and have always noticed the view from the top of this hill overlooking the Conyngham Valley. Aunt Pam joined us (we missed Taylor, who went to her grandparents' Thanksgiving dinner), and we had a table near picture windows overlooking a country club and picturesque hills, homes etc. The room wasn't crowded, everyone ordered meals other than turkey, appetizers, deserts and coffees with liquor for several of us. It was relaxing, and we hope to go again sometime.
It was also very nice to have Kate, Korin and Alex and Becca and Chris over later on. We had pie and caught up on everyone's news. (Korin just finished her dissertation and is now officially Dr. Korin Albert - wow!). As you can tell, it was a good day. Here's a picture from Top of the Eighties to help us remember. Rob wore his Hawaiian shirt with plaid flannel shirt for the occasion.
