At 3pm EST, Ryan and I begin our annual journey across I-81, I-66, and I-40 to the McClure house in Nashville, Tennessee for Sawyer-McClure-Zempel Thanksgiving. Here are some things I’m looking forward to:
- Turkey
- Pie
- Watching Auburn upset the Tide in the Iron Bowl
- Watching LSU destroy Arkansas
- Catfish and fried dill pickles at Cock of the Walk
- Corky’s BBQ
- Chasing my two-year-old niece, Ruthie
- Being a cheesy tourist at the Opryland Hotel
- Belting showtunes for ten hours (with the break for the obligatory country tune once we cross over to Tennessee)
- Playing epic games of Settlers of Catan
- Catching up with some friends
Actually, I’ll probably spend the majority of the time sleeping and eating. Love it. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
Wave to Hungry Mother State Park! Also, eat a Christie Cookie for me! (Leslie)
Ah how well I remember this trek. Such a good time. Thanks for letting me be part of a Sawyer Thanksgiving. Good times, good food, good friends.
