Episode CLXXIII: Thanksgiving in the Piney Woods

Our plans to spend Thanksgiving with extended family were canceled this year due to a certain coronavirus. So instead, The Norrises spent some time in a remote cabin in the Piney Woods region of East Texas.


One of the "large" cities in the region is Tyler, TX, self-proclaimed "Rose Capital of America." We stopped and smelled the roses.



We visited Tiger Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, which houses all sorts of rescued tigers, lions, etc. Pretty remarkable place, out in the middle of nowhere.























While there we had a Thanksgiving lunch of Turkey Lunchables.



Later we visited a drive-thru Holiday Lights Spectacular.




But if you ask Elliot what the best part of our trip was, it was sitting around in our tiny little cabin, reading books and playing games.
