Thanksgiving day, we loaded up the car ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0565 and checked the time ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0566 while waiting for Jane to emerge ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0567 for a stop at the Wawa where this sad sign ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0568 greeted us. We drove on and were willing to pay this price ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0569 to fill the tank ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0570 so that we could drive on and execute bad parking ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0571 at this rest stop ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0572 where the facilities ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0573 made us happier when we saw Erika ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0574 and after some assembly ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0575 took this family photo ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0576 for our records. WE drove on and got to Pittsburgh as these cars ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0577 were being pulled over. In the Gespass house ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0578 there was lots of food ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0579 as Danny ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0580 got ready to go off and the cookies ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0581 symbolized what we'd be eating and so encouraged that we take a hike ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0582 along this trail. Little did we realize that there would be many challenges along the way like the parallel bars ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0583 ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0584 and stretchers ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0585 before we could complete the course ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0586 and head for the swings ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0587 ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0588 ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0589 ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0590 near which was this inspirational bench ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0591 where we took a brief rest.

Back at the Gespass residence, food was being assembled ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0592 as Norma and Milt ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0593 Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0594 Robert ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0595 Ben ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0596 Sally (up close) ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0597 Sally and Jane, ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0598 and Andy and Milt ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0599 got ready to attack the serving table ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0600 and bring food to the dining table ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0601 as Robert did with this plate ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0602 to the amusement of Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0603 Danny ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0604 Jane and Milt ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0605 and himself ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0606 which led the others ../../../Sabbat/2003/11.24-29.03Thanksgiving//IMG_0607 to watch television.
