Gobble Gobble Day


So....after two weeks in Charleston - one planned, one not - Frank, Andrea, Noah and I climbed in the car to drive to Tampa for Thanksgiving. My Mom and Jessie also drove down from Atlanta for the holiday, known to Noah as Gobble Gobble day. It was a very low key day with lots of yummy food - including a turkey with no white meat, right Wes? :) Noah was happy to be back in his own house and he spent most of the day running around like a crazy person. I say crazy person because of his antics right before bedtime. Jessie had given him a bath and he ran out into the living room naked as a jay bird. All of the sudden he got a sneaky little grin on his face and the next thing you know, I look down and he his peeing on my carpet! Yes, my son was so glad to be back home he decided to end the evening by marking his territory.

The day after Thanksgiving we all made the short drive to see the manatees that hang out in the warm water by the Tampa power plant. They stay there all winter and the people there said that by the time January rolls around there will be about 300 in that one little bay. Noah really loved running back and forth across the dock and pointing at the water. I'm not sure he knew what he was pointing at but everyone else was doing so he did too! All in all it was a great holiday - we all ate way to much and enjoyed just hanging out!
