Our little trip is coming to an end. Some family drama is preventing us from taking our little drive up the coast, so instead we are flying back. So much for our much anticipated pit stop for a BBQ feast. On the upside, I guess we'll be home sooner ....

We went and saw Sherlock Holmes yesterday, and I must admit that it was quite enjoyable. The theater was packed, and the movie was equally as action-packed as it was funny. During our Thanksgiving trip, we passed by an outdoor military museum filled with old tanks, artillery and planes, so we are going to check that out in a bit. Should be fun.

A Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you had a great holiday and got loads of goodies from Santa!

For Christmas Eve, we went to a nice Brazilian BBQ place and got stuffed beyond belief. If you've never been to a Brazilian BBQ place, then you should really give it a go. It's basically a buffet where you have an open salad bar and the waiters come around with huge skewers of steak, sausages, chicken and so forth. There are over a dozen types of meat, and you can eat as much as you want.

The festivities are over, but we're staying a few extra days with the in-laws and will probably see Sherlock Holmes later today.
