Technically, I know that Thanksgiving means a lot more....it means family, togetherness, love, turkey (who can forget the turkey)...however, this year Thanksgiving is a little different for the newlywed Marlows...don't get me wrong there is still love, but the togetherness is a little off the mark this year!
Matt will be celebrating in the Bahamas....while Kelly and Molly will be celebrating in Charlottesville.
The UVA Women's Basketball team is participating in Junkanoo Jam in the Bahamas. Matt left this morning at 3:30 am and according to the United Airlines website, the team has landed and is currently taxing to the gate! Therefore, Thanksgiving this year (at least for Matt) means water, sand, basketball, and the Bahamas.
The team's itenerary:
DAY 1 -Tuesday: Arrive in Freeport/Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island
DAY 2 - Wednesday: Beach Time, Watersports, Golf, Casino, etc.; Practice
DAY 3 - Thursday: Shoot around; Tournament Game; Thanksgiving Dinner
DAY 4 - Friday: Shoot around; Tournament Game
DAY 5 - Saturyday: Depart for home
The Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort is the tournament host hotel. The resort features 7.5 acres of white sand beach, 3 large pools, casino, fitness center, 2 golf courses, a full-size outdoor basketball court, tennis, 14 restaurants, and an attached shopping village with over 70 stores, restaurants, and straw market. Water sports include jet skis, sailboats, kayaks, and parasailing. I know, tough place to be over Thanksgiving right?!?!?!? Ha! Ha! Ha!
Molly and I will be holding down the fort in Charlottesville. I'll be working a lot and possibly even going to Target on the morning of "Black Friday"....then of course back to work. I've been trying to look for a place to volunteer serving food on Thursday, but haven't found anything quite yet...So not sure. I do know that Molly and I will not be having turkey....we are making Thanksgiving Fajitas - but no fear, I will continue the Wallace tradition and also be serving the famous cannied jelly cranberry thing!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Seriously though, whether you are able to share the day with your loved one beside you - or you are separated physically, but still hold each other in your heart....from our family to yours....
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
