What we did for Thanksgiving

No, we didn't eat Thanksgiving at home this year. We drove up to Tennessee Pass for Thanksgiving. On the way we checked into the Minturn Inn in Minturn, CO, so we would have a place to stay after dinner. Last year we had a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. For the first two hours in the stove he enjoyed it!

We drove up to the pass and walked about a mile up to 10,800 feet where we had our Thanksgiving dinner. That's true. And, the turkeys weren't wild. They just went crazy when they found out what we planned to do with them.

Near the top of the pass is a yurt called the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse. Awesome name huh! Below is photo of Nancy standing in front of it. The temperature was about 21 degrees. Pretty warm for this time of year.

Inside, the yurt was warmed with a wood stove and filled with about 18 people enjoying Thanksgiving. We had a quaint little table by a window with candlelight.

I had Elk with a blueberry reduction sauce. Yummm. It was really good and I got really full. That's what you're supposed to do on Thanksgiving Day right? Gobble till you wobble.

Nancy had a traditional Thanksgiving meal with turkey. Her's was really good too. After dinner it was dark and about 9:00p. We had to walk a mile down the mountain to our car (in the dark with headlamps), and then drive 24 miles to our B&B in Minturn. We had a great time and enjoyed our meals a great deal this year. There is so much to be thankful for. God's grace and love to us is magnificent, and we continue to be overwhelmed by His riches in Mercy.
