Honeymoon Hotel

As we were entering Savannah today we passed this hotel. I recognized the sign and snapped a photo. At first I thought it was from movie to TV show. Once I mentioned it to my parents, they told me it was one of the hotels they stayed at during their honeymoon. I realized I remembered the sign from our family photo album. :-) - P

Merry Christmas!

December Thaw

It wasn't cold out today.  It wasn't warm either.  There was a bright presence long forgotten in the sky that made an appearance, or at least tried, to prove that it hadn't totally abandoned the area.  Very few people besides me decided that it was a good idea to venture to the local Lake Erie beach, but I think times when it is semi-vacant are the most magical.  Even though the snow is gone now, it will come back.  Hopefully in the next couple days, in time for Christmas. -A

Random Holiday Pictures

A lot goes on around the holidays.  Here is a feature of some of the food, presents, and travel from the last week.  See you next year! - A

I had to taste the ice cream with "NOTES OF AMBER"! 

Yummy.

Veggies and Hummus...

Beautiful sunset on my drive down to my sister's.

I made this!  Any excuse for guacamole.  I've heard it doesn't always have to be eaten with a spoon.

My sister made us Christmas dinner this year.  She has a few specialties, salmon and potatoes.

And she also bakes yummy things, like Earth.

"Luke, I am your Aunt."  Seriously, he is helping unwrap presents.

PS: Told you it would be random.

Snow Days!

Noting that the weather outside is and was very condusive to such events, I went to hang out with some friends at none other than the baseball stadium downtown. I have never been in a baseball stadium for non-baseball events before. It was slightly surreal, however, a great time for "kids". The tubing chutes were solid ice and quite fast. And I had to relearn, or rather semi-relearn, how to not fall down while attempting to ice skate. Where gravity and frictionless surfaces meet is always great winter fun! -A

Dashing Through the Snow...on a Bicycle?

I drove by this about three times before I actually stopped to take a picture of it. Love it! It is one of the Christmas decorations outside of a local pub. Now I am wondering if it is there all year and I just noticed it now that it has lights on it :) -A

First Day of Advent

Today marks the first day of Advent. We started our day by opening the first window of the calendar I picked up at Trader Joe's. The best part is that we can begin each day with a yummy piece of chocolate. Happy first day of December! - P
