Judy and I decided that we would
have our “thanksgiving” meal at the nearest Cracker Barrel restaurant which
happened to be just off I75 in Gainesville, FL.
We arrived there at 11:30 AM and found about 250 other folks with the
same plan! After a short thirty minutes wait we were seated. The meal was pretty close to the traditional
Thanksgiving Day fair – Ham, Turkey, Dressing, Sweet Potato Soufflé, Bread,
Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Tea, and a slice of Pumpkin Pie and only $8.99. It was
very good. No, it wasn’t as good as mamma fixed it (God Bless her sole) or even
Judy’s but very good none the less.
Thanksgiving at the Cracker Barrel
After we left the Cracker Barrel we
went in search of a movie theatre where we could go to phase two of our holiday
tradition, going to see a movie. Judy and I wanted to go see “Lincoln” "Trailer". Jason, our
son, out in Portland reminded us that this would be the second time Lincoln
would be killed in a theatre, the first time by John Wilkes Booth and this time
by “Breaking Dawn pt2” the vampire franchise. Our GPS got us to the nearest
movie in no time. Judy and I both
enjoyed the movie. I am sure there will be an “Oscar” nomination or two for it.
Once back at the park we observed
many family celebrations in full swing. I was surprised at how many families
meet camping to observe the holiday. One group had at least six families. They
were certainly having some good quality time. They did karaoke at night, played
games, and enjoyed park activities.
Judy and I did go to Homosassa State Park Wed. and had a great time. I will write about it soon.
That’s all for now, thanks for
stopping by.
Next blog: Sun.
We noticed a lot of celebrations in this park too. Incoming cars to meet people already here camping. We were outgoing, as George's brother lives an hour south. Was good to be with family!
