Happy Thanksgiving to all out there. I hope everybody ate lots of turkey and took a good nap between football games just like I did!

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Valerie and I went with her brother's family to Williamsburg, Virginia where we stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. The Lodge, aside from being a really nice lodge, has an attached waterpark. We all had fun riding the attractions.

At the end of the night Saturday night the Lodge had a "turkey race" for the holiday. They took as many rubber-duckie-looking turkeys as there were rooms reserved and slid them down a waterslide and into the lazy river. The first turkeys to make it to the end of the lazy river got those who stayed in that room number a prize. First prize was a free stay at the Lodge, second prize was $100 off a future stay, and third prize was $50 off a future stay.

Our turkey came in 10th. However, seven of the nine who finished higher than us were not in attendance to receive their prize, therefore the prize continued down to the next person who was in attendance. After nine turkeys were called, they called Room 1101 and Valerie and I won $50 off a future stay at the Lodge!

I have some pictures below of the entire Thanksgiving weekend. You can view the entire album on Flickr.
