Thanksgiving

This year we're in Charleston for Thanksgiving.  We were lucky to have wonderful weather and my cousin, Sixtine, who's studying abroad at UNC Chapel Hill, was in town for her first American Thanksgiving.  It's been a great weekend so far.

Yum!

In a surprising turn of events, my Mom played Fruit Ninja after dinner.

Dessert.

Friday we went to Middleton plantation.

This goat was making a racket.  He seemed annoyed.  

Another beautiful day.

Today my Dad took us on a private walking tour of Charleston.  What a great way to end the weekend!

Fall Bike Ride

Fall got off to a wet start in DC, but late October and early November have been incredible, so Sohail planned a bike ride last weekend.

The view from our house.  Every year I love watching the Ginko trees turn yellow.

Having a picnic along the Potomac during our bike ride.

The park where we had our picnic is right next to National Airport, so we watched the planes land.

Jordan joined us for the ride.

The trees along the trail were just beautiful.
