Non-traditional Thanksgiving

We had to be out of our AirBnb by 11:00 this morning, and even though our flight wasn't departing until 4:30, we decided to go ahead to the airport because we didn't really want to trek all over D.C. with all our bags. At first, I was a little bummed that our Thanksgiving Day was going to be spent mostly in an airport since it's one of my favorite holidays, but we definitely made the most of it and ending up having a great time and making some wonderful memories. We had a long, drawn out lunch in the D.C. airport and had plenty of time for reading and football watching afterwards. Jeff and I surprised the kids with an upgrade to first class to make the day a little more special, and they were so excited when we boarded the plane and they saw where our seats were. And they really loved all the perks that came with them! The icing on the cake was that our plane arrived about an hour ahead of schedule, which never happens! We definitely have so much to be thankful for on this day and every day!

We spotted a turkey in the terminal
