Giving Thanks in Huntsville, AL

We made it to Huntsville, AL to enjoy Thanksgiving with Tracee's sister Michele, brother-in-law Ed, cousins Emelia and Mark, and friends Phillip and Ryan.  This trip reminds us of how much we have to be thankful for - including this amazing country we get to call home...

Chef Inspired Locales & The Big Easy

We fell in love with Jon Favreau's awesome culinary movie, Chef, before our trip.  It was a great experience to get to see the location where they made the amazing beef brisket (Franklin BBQ in Austin - we even got to chat with Aaron who was loading the meat in the smokers) and to have our Beignet's at Café Du Monde in New Orleans...I think Chef is still at the Red Box, but make sure you don't watch it on an empty stomach!

 

The Big Easy - full of great food and very interesting people...

 

 

 

 

San Antonio

Well, we thought San Antonio would be a little town in Texas with the Alamo and a souvenir stand...boy were we surprised!  Seventh largest city in the country, booming economy, amazing food - what an awesome city!  Of course, we watched the Disney Davy Crocket movie before arriving and have been singing..."born on a mountain top in Tennessee..." ad nauseam:

Giant Cinnamon roll

Dad went to LuLu's and got us a giant 3 pound cinnamon roll in San Antonio, Texas. Mmmm, so flaky and delicous. It's the size of a cake and would last me forever. Hana

The Grand Canyon (Sam)

I took a nice panorama of the grand canyon and we had a great time in the helicopter later it was amazing.
