Thanksgiving Trip - Day 3
[woke up later - got texts from the rest of the group because many of them were swimming in the hotel pool (loud!) - Thanksgiving Dinner was much earlier this year (had to be ready to leave around noon) - we had two 15 passenger vans to get everyone around this week (even with only 21 people here, it is still amazing how much planning is required to move the group!) - our meal was on the top floor of the Mansion at Forsythe Park (700 Drayton Restaurant) - we enjoyed an outstanding meal of salad greens, turkey and fixin's, wine and delicious dessert while moving around the room to sit with different relatives - one funny part of the meal was when we heard that the hotel kitchen used to be the embalming room of a funeral home (the whole house was used in the mortuary trade for a few years!) - we made our way back to the hotel and watched football for several hours before dinner time (really, more of a snack) - around 1930, we all used the vans to go to a special musical show (called "A Christmas Tradition") at the Savannah Theatre - it was very well done and kept us entertained for a few hours - we made it back to the hotel by 2230 and hung out in the room visiting for a few more hours...]
