We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day 2007. This is how it started...Dad gets up with a great idea!
Dad: "Let's go to a parade this morning!"
Mom: "Great idea, where?"
Dad: "I think there is one in Scranton, I'll check on the internet...Yep, there it is, The 88th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade"
So we wake up the kids, they get dressed in 15 and off we go. We are excited. We notice there isn't much traffic on the roads near downtown Scranton. Must be that everybody is already there.
We arrive downtown...
kids: "Uh, Dad...Where is the the parade?"
Dad: "Um, it's here somewhere"
There is no one to be found...downtown is empty. Meanwhile Mom and Dad are looking on their blackberries to find out more info.
Mom: "Uh, Honey...here it says, "The 88th annual Thansgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia."
Dad: "Oops...let's go out for breakfast!"
A fun time was had by all. So much so. we decided to make it an annual Thanksgiving morning tradition...get up, go to the parade that is not there, then go for breakfast.
We enjoyed a relaxing day at home afterwards and had a great dinner that afternoon.
