Thanksgiving in Richmond

Jason had to take 5 exams before we could go play in Richmond for the Thanksgiving break! Ugh poor boy! It was all worth it though because he got to go play a really awesome golf course (Tradition at Royal New Kent... just outside of Richmond) while Zoey and I went shopping at a huge outlet mall in Williamsburg. We didn't buy much, but we had fun looking! After about 3 hours we picked Jason up and met our friend Todd for dinner. We went to a really good BBQ place called Buzz and Ned's (seriously one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever had!) The next day we went to Todd and Kayli's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Everything turned out great! A few other friends (Nelson, Taylor, and Ben) met up with us too. Nelson and Ben are going to medical school as well. Nelson at Duke and Ben at University of Virginia. Ironic that all of us high school friends could end up within a few hours of each other. Taylor was just nice enough to fly all the way from Utah to be with us! Anyway Todd and Kayli did a great job with the turkey. The rest of us just contributed the little stuff, but I do have to comment on the pies Nelson and Taylor made... very impressed by the presentation! They looked good, but too bad I am not a huge pie fan! Jason thought they were excellent though! Everyone stayed the night except for Ben and the next morning we all went out for some black friday shopping! Once again not much to show for the shopping excursion, but it was fun anyway! Zoey loved all the attention! Oh we took Zoey to Petsmart again... she loves it! She was especially interested in a nasty looking dumbo rat (of all things Zoey, a rat?!). Jason tried to explain why we should buy the rat for Zoey, but I was having none of that business! I would be the one doing all the dirty work... no thanks. We decided to stop at one more place before we left Richmond... Krispy Kreme of course we needed some fresh, hot, deliciousness to finish off the trip! Everything was great! Unfortunately Jason dropped his credit card in the parking lot and didn't realize until the next morning at home. Good news is that Krispy Kreme has it and Todd and Kayli are going to pick it up for him! What good friends, let us stay at their house, let us eat their food, let our baby slobber all over everything, and pick up after my husband! We will be staying with Kayli one more time in December before we fly out to Utah for Christmas! Wow! We will have stayed with them three times in just over a month... Thanks Guys!
