We hope you all had a very wonderful Thanksgiving filled with happiness and pie!

We went a little non-traditional this year and it was a nice, stress-free day. We celebrated Thanksgiving as “orphans” (what transplants with no family in the area call themselves) by dining out at a restaurant on the Pier 70, called Aqua. Unfortunately the beautiful view of the Sound was obstructed by dense fog.

Bobby had the traditional turkey day plate, but I decided on seared scallops. We finished with a yummy creme brûlée.

We drove out to beach at Discovery Park to get some driftwood for an advent calendar we’re making (stay-tuned for the post). The fog was moody and the tide was out. We saw a seal and a Gray Heron.
