In what has become a yearly tradition, the wifey and I traversed 10 hours of the eastern U.S. in route to Erie, PA to spend Thanksgiving with the Risner’s. It should be known that the Risner family is simply delightful. From Pam’s unparalleled hospitality to Jack’s wit and thoughtfulness, the entire Risner family loves selflessly. They’ve never asked us for anything more than our company, which we give all too gladly. There’s so much I’m thankful for: life, love, family, friends, freedom… Life is good. As was our trip to Erie.
We tried our best to hit up some local hot spots, including Romolo Chocolate for their famous Sponge Candy, discount store haven Gabe’s, and this place called a movie theatre where you watch movies. We ran the annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and explored the countryside in parks and on Presque Isle. But mostly we sat around, enjoyed great company, and ate loads of delicious food. ‘Twas simply wonderful. Here are a few glimpses into our weekend away:
