My family and I took Freedom on a trip to my grandparent’s house for a traditional Thanksgiving celebration. We traveled five hours from Wilmington to Ellenboro, NC. Ellenboro is in Rutherford County and is located in the foothills of western North Carolina.
My grandmother and I planned and prepared our traditional feast of turkey and stuffing with all the trimmings. I was the sous chef, which means that I helped to prepare ingredients for the recipes. I also made brownie cupcakes with cream cheese icing!
After our big family meal on Thanksgiving day, my aunt, grandmother and I talked about our game plan for “Black Friday” shopping. We got up at 5:00 a.m. on Friday and shopped, shopped, shopped!
On Saturday we had our traditional bonfire down by the creek. We had fun riding four wheelers, visiting with our cousins, and roasting marshmallows!
Sunday morning came and it was time to head back to Wilmington. Only four more weeks until Christmas!
Sounds like a great vacation!
