We relaxed before heading to Thanksgiving dinner at the home of my mom's cousin. It was very nice to see her family and my mom's aunt and uncle also. The meal was DELICIOUS and the conversations were wonderful.

| Our WONDERFUL hosts and their family |
On Friday both Gabe and Hanni had to work in the morning so we wandered to Arlington National Cemetery. They live LITERALLY down the street from the Iwo Jima Memorial. Strolling around was a humbling experience knowing these people gave their lives for our freedom....for that we are THANKFUL!!!

Friday afternoon we went to see the Pentagon Memorial. It was very surreal to be there and look across the area and see all the benches of those who died that day. There was a young gal on the plane that was born the year in between my nieces. That made them realize that a tragedy could happen to anyone at any age.

| Let's cross the street now |
We had to go to the mall on Black Friday due to an accidental issue with J's clothes RIGHT before the trip. Let me tell you even at 6 pm it was STILL BUSY!!! I even got a couple of deals...you know, since we were already there.
