Thanksgiving memories...
Posted by Taryn O Neill on Nov 26, 2009
I can't believe it was a year ago that we were in NYC for Thanksgiving.  My family and I have a history of going to New York for Thankgiving because my brother lived there and could never get enough time off to come home.  So we would all just go to him- an excellent excuse for some big city Xmas shopping too! But last year by brother and his soon to be fiancee unexpectedly left NYC to move back to Vancouver...but our Thanksgiving trip had already been booked- so my parents and my husband and I decided to still go, and we truly had a magical long weekend: From trekking up to the Parade and having a friendly security guard let us into a residential viewing area, to the power walk around Central Park that ended at a phenomenal little french bistro on Madison, to seeing the plays 'August Osage County', 'Billy Elliott' and Christine Ebersole perform at a famous jazz club, to Christmas shopping and reconnecting with an old college friend in the West Village...it was all fantastic.  I felt truly thankful to be able to share all these wonderful moments and experiences with my parents.  
This year brings my brother and his new wife happily settled in Vancouver and a staycation for my husband and I in LA- lots of movies to watch, turkey with his grandma today and a little day trip up to wine country tomorrow.  I'll bring the ol' camera out tomorrow and capture some more memories. Until then, here are some of my favorite scenery pics from last year...NYC we miss you! Happy Thanksgiving and hope you are all grateful for all that you have and for those in your life! I certainly am :)
