I stayed in town for Thanksgiving, my mother is in Virginia picking up my grandmother to bring her down to Columbus for the week. I am heading down to Columbus for the weekend to visit them.

Paige and I had a nice little Thanksgiving. We had dinner at a restaurant called ‘The Palm’. The Palm is located in Buckhead in the Westin hotel. We made a night of it and got a room at the hotel. It was nice to have a night away and still be in town. The dinner was good, except for the lobster bisque, which had a fishy taste. We both ate too much, didn’t have room to have a couple after dinner drinks.

The Westin is next door to Lenox Square mall. We walked over and watched a little of the Macy’s tree lighting ceremony, headed back to the hotel for dinner, then walked back over to look at the tree, hoping we could walk off the full feeling, but that didn’t work. The tree isn’t all that great looking either, shame such a big tree had to give its life for that. The next morning we walked over to the mall and did some people watching. There weren’t as many people out shopping on Black Friday as we thought there would be, but there were still a good bunch out there. That’s the first time I’ve ever ventured out to a store on Black Friday, I try to stay away from stores this time of year.

Overall it was an enjoyable Thanksgiving.
