Marie drove to our place from NJ and spent the night then we headed to New Bern the next day. We actually got away late and between dueling GPS and Marie's map we added an extra hour AT LEAST to the drive. Arrived late Wednesday night and Tom & I got up bright and early to go do a turkey burner 5 K.
Tom took first in his age category and won this awesome little orange lunch box. Wow!
Karen had to work Thanksgiving day so decided to celebrate on Friday instead. We sat around and had a wonderful crockpot lasagna she'd made us, talked, went for a walk to see some horses, read, and just relaxed. It was HEAVENLY!
Oh yeah, and the siblings made mincemeat chocolate chip cookies. Their favorite!
We did a few things ahead of time like make pies and such but most of the hard core cooking was saved for the next day.
I had promised the horses we'd come back with apples so Nic did the honors.....
Tom's horsie/selfie
Beautiful and yummy dinner then football and more relaxing!
Saturday we went to take a look at their boat in the dock then headed into town to do a little site seeing and shopping. Love that place!
Some of us did more shopping than others. Or just lifted a store's display.
Doggy bakery. Seriously.
Also saw a lot of this going on.....Karen's over on that other couch....you just can't see her.
Got Marie set up on Facebook then headed out the next morning.
Cowan Kids
Had to stop and show Nic some cotton crops along the way....
