Thanksgiving

For our first official Thanksgiving as husband and wife, Dan and I are doing something a little different. Since we have to work both jobs today and Friday it didn't make sense for us to drive down to Illinois Thursday morning & then turn around and drive back that evening; or for Dan's parents to come up and spend the day & head right back down afterwards.
Tonight after Menards we're going to drive up to the Dells and spend the evening at Ho-Chunk. We saw a special winter room rate online and figured it was worth it for a quick get-a-way. For those of you not familiar w/ Ho-Chunk, it's a casino :) So yes, not only did we spend part of our honeymoon in casinos, we're also spending Thanksgiving in one! They offer a Thanksgiving Day buffet, which Dan is very excited about, LOL!
We'll probably head home tomorrow afternoon to work on cleaning up the apartment and getting it ready for Christmas decorations.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great weekend! We'll be thinking about you while we're sitting at the poker tables :)
