2 hours to see the folks and some cousins.
We're flipping the script on turkey day this year by doing not turkey but lobsters that we caught during the mini season down in the keys. Got (no lie) about 100 of them left and we're gonna have us a lobster bake on the beach at my folks resort on Casey Key. I actually love getting together with my extended family. We have a great time. As long as I keep my mouth shut and don't bring up politics or religion.

Here's a link to my folks resort:
