Bicoastal Thanksgiving





Some members of the family spent Thanksgiving in the midsection of the United States while others enjoyed the holiday on the West Coast as well as the East Coast. Erin and Jeannie were able to spend time together on Nantucket Island. The girls reported that the weather was very chilly, but clear. The first picture is taken in front of Brandt Point Lighthouse. It looks like Erin is serving up a beautiful turkey with all the trimmings for their dinner. The girls enjoyed a real New England feast with several other friends from the Whaling Museum. Meanwhile at Morro Bay, the weather was warm and sunny as we enjoyed a Thanksgiving breakfast in the backyard. The smoked turkey for dinner was delicious, as always. Not only was it Stephanie and John's first Thanksgiving dinner, but we also enjoyed the company of two exchange students from Munich, friends of Allison's from Cal Poly. The last picture is taken with Mom and Dad and the grandchildren on Cuesta Ridge, along a fire road at the top of Cuesta Grade, outside of San Luis Obispo. We took a picnic supper there and enjoyed breathtaking views as the sun was setting over the ocean. As dusk settled in, it did get chilly and breezy. All across the country, where ever we were, it was wonderful being together as a family for Thanksgiving.
