We stayed with Kim’s Grandma Josephine Arszyla and her Aunt Mary Anne and her cousin CJ for Thanksgiving. As soon as we got there it was time for Kim’s grandma’s favorite game, Skip-bo. Kim won pretty much every game, something she attributes to skill, although I disagree.
Abbie, Kim’s NRME friend from college, and her boyfriend Adam stopped by that night to visit and we went to El Sombrero for dinner. There was live mariachi music which was fun, but once they started repeating songs it got a little old. We all caught up over dinner and had a lovely time.
The next day we picked up CJ from school, and Kim got a chance to keep up her image as the cool cousin. Afterwards we went to pick up our vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner and drove around sightseeing Connecticut.
Later that day the other Abbey (notice the different spelling, at least it think they’re spelled differently) picked us up and we went to see Chris and Megan’s new condo. They completely remodeled it and it looks really, really good.
The next day was Thanksgiving and Mary Anne finally got to stay home. We ate a LOT and then we went out to rake the yard just for some exercise. It was a nice day out so it was fun just to rake leaves. We walked around the neighborhood and the woods. Lots of Kim’s family, great aunts and distant cousins, have houses just down the street from her Grandma.
Finally, it was time for us to go back home. We flew back the day after Thanksgiving because that was the cheapest time. It was nice to have a weekend at home before going back to work too.
