Another week in Paradise!?
This week we started off with a Sunday AM sunrise hike.
Its so nice to have so many neat trails so close. We did a 5 mile loop. We need to get Tracy some better shoes for this.
The work week wasn't too bad and it was a short one. Which leads us to Thanksgiving. Only the second one ever spent without family. Can you guess the first time?
Our kitchen is so damn small, there is no way I could ever cook a full Turkey and all the fixings. Having access to only a pots pans and other accoutrements, it wouldn't be worth the effort. We ordered a full meal for 4 from Whole Foods. They have a huge catering business I was unaware of.
We got a full 8-10 pound turkey, mashed potatoes, maple sweet potatoes, stuffing, gravy, extra gravy, green beans and a pumpkin pie.
Mackenzie brought her roommate over to eat with us. She wasn't going home, so we did what we could to make her feel at home.
I made bacon wrapped water chestnuts for an appetizer, thanks to Taylor who asked me about them earlier in the week. After dinner we did a little face time with family and then sat outside with a fire.
I also got a set of solar Christmas lights to liven up the yard.
Saturday, we did a bunch of running around. Went to 7 model houses to start getting design ideas. Man, not sure how we will keep this all straight? It can be overwhelming. Speaking of house updates, we also stopped by the lot. It is ready for the slab! They post tension the concrete for strength so thats what all the cables are. Exciting that's for sure. A few photos here, but I will link to the full house build album on the side bar here.
