Read the following SEVEN posts to catch a glimpse of our Happy Thanksgiving in Bainbridge. A HUGE THANK YOU to Larry and Shari for having us as guests for a few days. The decision to come came about pretty quickly and we are SO happy we did!! The accommodations, food, entertainment, outings, etc. were all so perfect!! Darin, myself, and both the kids had a great time. Jeff, Andrew, and Malauri, we loved spending time with you guys!! Thanks for making my kids feel so important. They loved all the attention!! Malauri, hope you survived the drive home with us!! It was so fun to have you. Here is my top 20 list for this great trip.....
