Thanksgiving in Florida

At almost the last minute, we decided to join Beth's family and some friends in a trip to Florida. We're glad we decided to make the trip. We had a great time and Amelia did great in the car...I think we had to stop more for me than for her!


Amelia saw her first Santa Claus in the Seaside Christmas lighting parade. We fried a turkey, which in the end was great, but the best part was definitely the process which involved two missions to find an open store, a dump truck full of sand, a wandering band of rednecks on the lawn, a healthy dose of beer, and an answer to the eternal question "how many Rusticis/Bowies/Immordes does it take to light a fryer?". Beth accidentally tried to disown me from the family and we even got some great pictures for the Christmas card.
