We spent the Thanksgiving weekend up in the Bay Area, specifically, Marin County. But we stopped first at Fenton's, the iconic ice cream parlor featured in the animated film, "Up". We had some delicious ice cream sundaes.
We stayed at a hostel, which was built in the early 1900's and was the Bachelor Officer's Quarters for the army. Evan is shown here sitting with Grammie and Grampie on the front porch of the house.
We smoked our turkeys this year as usual.
Our group attending to the turkey.
Helen, Evan and Brad in front of our hostel. We overlooked this big lawn and Rodeo Beach.
The work crew in the kitchen just prior to dinner.
Finally, we sat down to our feast, all 18 of us.
Since most of my family was here, Alana and Steve opened their wedding presents from them.
Steve and his new cousins-in-law.
We played games in the living room after a great dinner.
The following day, we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge from Marin County and went to Fort Point, the fort at the base of the bridge.
The inside of the fort is shown above. It is now just part of the National Park System.
From the top of Fort Point, looking back at San Francisco.

After a trip to Ghirardelli Square for hot fudge sundaes, we went to Rodeo Beach in front of the hostel to watch the sun set.
Steve, Alana and Evan doing a silhouetted jump shot on the beach.
Steve and Evan found a log to play with as a teeter totter.
