Saint Paul MN - Post Thanksgiving celebration with the Mac Guys

Arrived back in MN for the return of the cold.  It was at least 50F every day on our trip to the East.
We got ourselves moving on Saturday and gathered a great crowd for some food, fun and lots of loud conversation.
A great finish to the Thanksgiving Week.

Thanksgiving 2012 East and Midwest - a bit of Stamford and a bit of Stillwater

East Coast - Stamford CT

Midwest - Stillwater MN

It couldn't have been a nicer day here on the East Coast - a nice warm and sunny November day.   And it appears it was much the same in the Midwest.
Always great to gather and enjoy the family and friends where ever they may be.

East Coast Thanksgiving - Theater and walks

A busy trip to CT this year.  Tuesday we loaded everyone up and headed in to the City to take in Annie  right in the heart of Times Square.
And we had to find lots of ways to entertain ourselves over dinner before we crossed the street for the show.
Eddie and Tommy have been joining me for neighborhood walks.  We have had the best weather ever for our yearly adventure.  Lucille even wandered the streets with us tonight.

New Haven CT - a bit of Christmas and a bit of Yale

Went for a drive and took in Christmas in Canada and the world headquarters of the Knights of Columbus - and got a big dose of their history as well.
Then took some time to drive around Yale.....and take all the knowledge all in.

Stamford CT - The big parade

It has been many many years since our trip out East and spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in Stamford.  The last time we were here I think it was Tommy that I was walking around downtown Stamford in a stroller before the parade.  This year I took Betty and Lucille for a quick spin throughout the downtown area before the parade began.
It is quite fun to see all of the Macy Parade balloons up close and personal - you could almost touch them from where we stand.  And we had a perfect November day.  Sunny and 50ish.
