We’re having an amazing time here on the island. It’s chilly, but the clear blue sunny skies make up for it.
A margarita kicked off the vacation and then we spent most of Wednesday afternoon catching up and showing Matt’s family around the island.
Of course, we visited the wedding chapel. It’s so cute!
And we enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast at the reception site!!
There was Beach House red to start and then tons of family-style Thanksgiving regulars, some with unique twists.
Like the sweet potatoes, which had apples and cranberries mixed in. I loved it, but I can see how some might think it was too sweet…
Almost everything I tried was delicious, but the family serving style meant some things were on the cold side:(
I only had two plates so that I could eat two pieces of pie!
There were four choices, and since I couldn’t decide, I had a piece of pumpkin and a piece of bourbon pecan – the pecan was probably my favorite thing at Thanksgiving dinner.
With full stomachs, there wasn’t much else to do other than enjoy each other’s company while watching football and drinking wine. It was perfect and I feel very thankful.
See ya back in Durham.

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
Looked delicious!!
Laura, what a beautiful Thanksgiving! This makes me want to go away somewhere next year. Making the dinner can be so stressful, but this looks perfectly relaxing and lovely.
What a gorgeous site for a wedding! Your Thanksgiving feast looked delicious. So nice that you all could be together.
