In 1998, we spent Thanksgiving in Turkey. My mom had this grand idea - turkey in Turkey on Turkey Day. Turkey was amazing -- though I don't think we actually ate any turkey. My mom and her friend did crash a Turkish wedding. What? Your mom isn't a wedding crasher?
One year, Alan and I met his sister, her family and his mom in New Orleans. We ate at an Italian restaurant on Thanksgiving night. Afterwards Alan and I hit up Harrah's for some blackjack. What? You don't frequent casinos on Thanksgiving?
This year, we stayed put. We had a small Thanksgiving with our family and Gagi and Pop Pop. Celebrate we did. After all, it doesn't matter if you are in Turkey or Atlanta Thanksgiving is about being with the ones you love.
Friday, the celebrating continued. It was Gagi's birthday. We passed the day visiting with good friends and family. What a fabulous long weekend we had. I hope yours was just as fulfilling.
