Rich and Stacie: Turkey-athon Weekend!

This year...Rich and I did a "Turkey-athon" Weekend...which included:

4 days of driving
3 days of eating
2 days of drinking
and not enough time to recover!

We went to the West...We went to the East...heck, we even went to Oregon! It was a great weekend...get ready for a "little" recap of the festivities.

Thursday started with Turkey day with the Boness Family!

Rich and I with Avea and Rene.

We ate a ton with my family, hung out with Grandma and Aunt Roxy, toasted with Jenn and Danny and relaxed with Mom, Dad and Max!

Friday Morning we headed out early to get to Kennewick to go get Christmas trees with the Meyer Family.

Pheew....Friday is over. Saturday started off a little slow...but once we got going we were great. Rich, Shawn and I headed out Steelhead fishing...but had no luck. It was beautiful outside though, so we had a great time.

After fishing for the day...we headed out of Kennewick and over to Yakima for Bryan's 30th Surprise party...which turned out to be an Engagement Party too.
Congrats Bryan and Tina!!!

After a great weekend...we had a few more stops on our way home. We stopped a little outside of Yakima to go for a hike and see if we could find any Chuckers or Ducks for Rich to shoot at.
