We give thanks for reasonably priced orange juice...

A big 'ole thanks to the Young family for having us for Thanksgiving, again! We always have a great time and lots of laughs with you guys. I think that we must return soon to give Cohen and the horsey a second chance at friendship though.
After debating whether we should weather the Black Friday madness, Uncle Steve convinced us to go for it or we'd be pansies (or something like that). So we went, and we totally WON black friday. We got a killer deal on a 42" TV (Merry Christmas to me, for like 5 years), and somehow didn't have to wait in the 500-person-long line because we happened to be passing by a register as it was opening. SCORE! I think this will be my last black friday, mostly so I can remember it as a great success.
From there, we headed straight for the border with a massive tv box hanging out of our trunk, for hundreds of miles. All this to take a gander at Niagara Falls, which was totally cool. Literally, it was friggin freezing (cue to Cohen in "I can't put my arms down" position below.)

The falls were astonishing and totally worth the drive to me. I think the only part of the trip that we felt we failed at was the food choices -- in particular finding out that apparently there is quite a premium on orange juice in Canada -- $4 for that little glass, seriously?

Here we are in the Sacred Grove, Palmyra NY.

And finally, my favorite picture of the trip.

How cool that you went to Niagra Falls and Palmyra! And, we ended up getting a new tv too, I think because Joseph talked himself into it after talking to you guys at dinner! :)

what a cool thanksgiving you had! NICE! I love that you went to Niagra Falls AND Palmyra?! Wow, you guys live so close to so many cool things!

The closest place we live near is Mexico. Not as cool. Wait, we live IN Mexico. :)

Umm, rach, I love your jacket. Love love love it. And Cohen's arms in his jacket?! priceless.

Good work! Great post! Good fun. Nice job, Rachy.
