Thanksgiving Blessings

We did a day trip to Chattanooga with turkey and all the trimmings in tow.

Early Thursday morning we picked up niece Danica from the airport, then headed straight north. Heather looked quite uncomfortable, and she happily gave us free rein in her kitchen for the day. Immediately after dinner, she was quite ready to have that baby. Any day now, Peep!

On Saturday, we gave Danica the grand tour of Atlanta. Unknown to any of us, the big game of rivals GA Tech and UGA took place at the very same time that we arrived downtown. We ogled, gape-mouthed, at the spectators enjoying their pregame tailgate parties; tents and piles of trash included. All we really wanted to do was get to Centennial Olympic Park. We did eventually, along with half of suburban Atlanta. After getting our fill of every variety of Coke's beverages at World of Coke, we proceeded on to that bastion of high taste and healthfulness, The Varsity Drive-In, home of world famous hot dogs! And hamburgers! Southern-style! Loaded with grease!


Later in the evening, we took in a candlelight tour of three of the historic antebellum plantation homes of Roswell, decorated for Christmas. It was cold and drizzly, but fun. Next stop, supper at Cracker Barrel, another southern institution. I'm sure by now Danica has had her fill of southern-ness.
