Giving Thanks
Team Vacation was on the road again this last week! It was so wonderful to get out of Michigan for awhile, and to see old friends.
It started out by visiting Rick in Indianapolis so Tim could meet some of the doctors in the anesthesia program there. While Tim and Rick were at work for the day, Carter and I took on the town. Ok, we just headed out to the mall, but that was enough for us. After living in such a small town, it is easy to become overwhelmed! After the boys got home from work, we headed down to Louisville where Shari lives. The drive took us an extra hour due to the holiday traffic, so thank goodness for portable DVD players! Thanksgiving day was filled with good food, good friends, and more good food. Friday was a beautiful day where we got to play outside at a beautiful park, and enjoy some big town shopping. Saturday was rock climbing day and fulfilling Carter's need for pizza. It was so nice to spend Thanksgiving with old friends and catching up with what is going on in their lives. Thanks for the great hospitality Rick and Shari, and for letting Carter wear you out!
We left on Sunday for our long drive northeast. Sunday night was spent in Erie, PA. The next morning we headed out early and ended up in Syracuse, New York in the afternoon. After exploring the town a bit, we ended up at the best eating place in Syracuse. Dinosaur BBQ is a must if you are ever in the area. We ate more than we should have, but it was amazing! That night was spent hanging out in the pool while Tim prepared for his interview the next morning.
Tim left early for his interview, while Carter and I took it nice and easy. We ended up going to the zoo, which was a ton of fun for Carter. After that, we were able to find an incredibly huge mall. To drive around it was a mile circle. Crazy. Tim finished up in the early afternoon with his stuff, so we headed out for Niagara Falls. We wanted to stop at the American side of the falls before we crossed the boarder, but it was so foggy when we got there, that you would not have been able to see anything. Niagara Falls Canada is a cute town, but super expensive. The only reason we were able to afford a hotel there was because it is the off season. So, we scored a super fancy hotel for a reasonable price. Finding a place to eat there was horrible. We ended up eating at TGI Fridays, and payed $17 for a burger! Give me a break!!
The next morning was spent enjoying the sights of the Falls. If you have never been, go! It is so beautiful and amazing! A must see for anyone!!! It was a little cold, and raining, but still amazing!
The drive home was bit depressing because we knew our vacation was over. It was so much fun to spend quality time together as a family. And, to get out of Michigan!!!
