We all love Thanksgiving week… Who wouldn’t? School’s out. It’s a short work week for most of us. God Bless those of you who work in a profession where you don’t get Thanksgiving off. We are all thankful for you and what you do.

However, I for one absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Thanksgiving week. Why? Because, for this one week of the year, my ENTIRE family is together. And, we’re at the beach. All of us. Together. At the beach. AWESOME!

Here are just a few of the whys… in pictures.

This year, Thanksgiving week is again my FAVORITE week of the year. And, we haven’t even gotten to turkey dinner yet.
