Thanksgiving and after...

Thanksgiving was fun this year. We drove to my mom's house and stayed with her for a few days. She recently bought a new computer so Evan was able to introduce her into the world of Macs as well as help her transfer old stuff, etc. The morning of Thanksgiving, Evan and I ran a race. We had a lot of fun! There were 20,000 people in this race so we had to walk the first mile because it was so crowded. Nothing beats a Thanksgiving morning run.
We of course later experienced the inevitable food coma and thankfully just relaxed for the rest of the evening. I ate so much however that I felt very sick. Grandma/Mom did a great job at preparing a fantastic meal! I wish I would have helped her more. All we did was contribute a vegetable. :) I miss my mom's cooking.The following day we took Kenzie to the Zoo. She loved it and it turned out to be a free day, much to our surprise.My mom has two cats that McKenzie just can't get enough of. They are her best friends when we are visiting. Evan and I are not big cat fans, but it is cute to see her so happy around animals.
On Saturday we headed home and stopped by San Francisco on our way. Evan's family was there dropping kids off at the airport so we were able to do lunch with the gang. It was fun week/weekend. A very memorable Thanksgiving 2007.

Billy Joel

One of the great things about living in the bay area is the concert scene here. I grew up going to several concerts. I love them. Evan does too. It is the best date for us! I wish we did it more often. We were lucky to have great seats at the Billy Joel concert on Saturday night. We were the youngest ones there, but still enjoyed ourselves. The lady sitting next to me said, (after asking how old we were) "Your parents sure taught you well." She was impressed that Evan and I were singing the songs outloud and that we were just as excited as the rest of the 5o something year old crowd. What a fun time we had! Joel delivered a wonderful 2 and half hour concert that balanced his fan friendly hits with lesser known tracks. He played a lot of the sing along classics like "We didn't start the fire," "An Innocent Man," "Its still rock n roll to me," "My life," "New York State of Mind," "Only the Good Die Young," and many many more. He of course ended the show by encoring with "Piano Man". We loved it and had a great time, even if we were the young kids there.

A Happy Halloween
