Hamilton is about a 5 hour drive from Boston. We were going to leave around 10 on Wednesday, but we actually didn't hit the road until 12:30. We had heavy traffic until Sturbrige, along 95, but then from Sturbridge on it wasn't bad. We left Utica in the dark and had to navigate the back roads to Hamilton in the dark. The roads are a combination of rolling hills and curves, which made driving exciting.

 | We served up the food in the kitchen. We had traditional turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy and lots of other good things to eat. |
 | Dan's friends had given them a huge blue hubbard squash. Sean and Dan broke it apart by throwing it on the ground, and then we scooped out the seeds and cooked the flesh. Here's a picture of Sean getting the seeds ready for toasting. |
 | Here's a picture of Dan, Karen and Jared. |
 | Jared is three years old and lots of fun. His favorite toys are cars and trucks, and his favorite movie is "Cars." Uncle Sean was a great hit because he has a movie preview on his BlackBerry of a car racing movie, which he let Jared watch to his heart's content. |
Jared is playing with Uncle Sean's phone, while Dan and Sean pose for the camera. |
 | This is a shot of Dan and Karen's front door. They live in a duplex that is an old house in Hamilton, with a deep back yard. |
 | This house is located across the street. I fell in love with it - notice the beautiful stone work. |
 | Dan and Karen have a flower arrangement on their piano, which looks like it is growing out of the back of my head in this picture. I haven't taken to wearing hats or feathers yet. |
We are especially thankful for all of our family and friends at this time of year. We hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.
