thanksgiving

today was really so awesome.  it could not have been a better thanksgiving--only if evan had been here.  the boys went golfing this morning and the girls went to the spa.  caroline and i got a massage and a facial.  we were joined by g-dawg and kim.  after three hours of treatments, i lingered in the relaxation room and read for awhile by the fire in my robe.  so relaxing.

after our morning activities, we met up on the quad by the hotel and the boys played a little turkey bowl.  this was my favorite part of the day.  it was so much fun to watch them play together.  we sure missed scott.

at 4:00 we all met up for the hotel buffet.  i didn't have really high expectations, but boy was i completely blown away.  the buffet was the biggest i have ever seen.  it was rooms and rooms of food.  there was a whole area of traditional turkey, stuffing (cornbread!) and mashed potatoes.  there was also an area for untraditional main dishes like salmon and prime rib.  there was a waffle, omelette and pancake bar (i didn't waste calories on these).  there was a whole area devoted to cheeses.  one area was set aside for kids-type dishes (mac & cheese, chicken fingers).  one room was for seafood like crab legs, shrimp and lobster.  there was a sushi bar.  there was also an entire room for desserts.  most of them were mini desserts, which i really liked because you could try different things.  there was also a chocolate bar.  in the dessert room, there was a crepe bar for bananas foster crepes and a whole bar for gelato.  it was the craziest buffet i've ever seen!  thanks g-dawg!

after dinner, we all rolled to our rooms to watch the ravens game, only to find out that it was on the nfl network and they were only showing it in the lobby.  so we rolled to the lobby and had a fun time watching the game there.
