Thanksgiving Adventures

So, here's the story of our Thanksgiving adventures. This year we headed out to see Kevin's sister Yvonne and her family who live in Port Huron, MI (above Detriot). Her husband, Jason, is a Captian of the Coast Guard unit in Detroit and they have 3 kids - Rachel (9), Nolan (4) and Jenna (20 months). We had so much fun being able to play with them. Nolan loves Uncle Kevin because Uncle Kevin loves Star Wars too...so he would greet us each morning but bouncing on us!



We traveled out on Tuesday and on Wednesday were able to meet up with our good friends Ty and Kelly at Starbucks outside Detriot. We were also able to get a little Christmas shopping done too!!

As we were walking around the mall Jason called with a question. He was part of a group that CBS had come and help tape a segment. They were presenting the iron man trophy at the Lions/Dolphins game on Thanksgiving Day and they wanted to Coast Guard to bring it in sort of Survivor style (so if you watched the game...my brother in law was one of the ones that delivered it). So, anyways...as a thank you, they gave him tickets to the game. He ended up getting 6 tickets and we were able to go with the kids to the game! The coolest part is that we had seats up in the box section. They were right in front of the private boxes, were nice and padded, and had a better food area! It was really cool! It was my first ever pro football game and though I am not a huge fan of the teams it was fun to go!



On the way back we were able to stop in Syracuse and meet my family for dinner! It was a fun trip but it's nice to be home!
