Yesterday we started our drive down to Bradenton, FL, for Thanksgiving, and spent the night outside of Jacksonville at the home of our friends Beverly and Chris. Thanks for the hospitality guys!

Everyone was gone when we got up in the morning; well, almost everyone:

That’s Lucky, a super cute and somewhat sleepy chihuahua. He was rather happy to have us around (though not so pleased with Rieslings presence) and Leandra ended up having breakfast with Senor Lucky:

Lucky was one of the first dog portraits Leandra created last year – you can see his picture in her gallery.

We had to leave Lucky behind, but we’ve now made it to FL where we’ll be for Thanksgiving.
