We just had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Pensacola FL, camped on the Pensacola NAS right on the water. They have a beautiful camp ground there for military members and their family so Thomas got us a reservation. The drive down from Montgomery went well and the roads were better than I thought they would be since you have to take a few non-highway roads. We arrived right at 1 PM and Thomas met us at the gate with his roommate, Jeremy Wallace. They rode with us to the campground and spent some time with us. We were so happy to see Thomas. He looked so good in his Navy Blues. After they left we got all set up and started planning our Thanksgiving Day dinner. We bought a turkey that was only 13 lbs. already stuffed and seasoned and also with directions that said you don’t defrost it you just put it in an oven frozen. All that was perfect for an RV. Thomas had asked for a traditional thanksgiving dinner so Kathleen had planned for all the normal dishes. On Thanksgiving Day Thomas and Wallace came over from their dorm at 9 am and Kathleen made them French toast for breakfast, one of Thomas’ favorites. We started cooking the turkey at 9:45 with an expected finish time of 2:45 but we were real nervous about it all since the turkey was still frozen. But right at 2:45 we took it out of the big electric roaster we had bought just for it and it looked wonderful. We got it all carved up and the stuffing out and everything we made tasted great. It had all turned out perfect. During the day we watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the football games, played our own football and later went and walked on the beach. It was an awesome Thanksgiving Day and we had so much to be thankful for.
