Thanksgiving Dinner at Norwood!!

Thursday, December 8, 2011

We arrived in Powhatan, VA on Tuesday, December 6th in the rain.
We rode up on our chariots as the post arrived with a grand welcome from Ted and Connie Harriss. We placed the bikes out of the rain and went inside the family plantation called Norwood! This home had been in the family since 1830 when Beverley Randolph bought the property. Since then, the home has been added onto and still stands today.
We took showers and joined Connie and Ted for a Pot roast dinner that was extremely delicious. After dinner and catching up all the family news, Vesper and I went to bed in an 1830 Sleigh bed on the second floor. We slept soundly and awoke to coffee and breakfast. We decided to explore the grounds towards the James River.
We returned to Connie cooking up a storm for our Thanksgiving Dinner!!
Some Kennon relatives arrived to share in our Thanksgiving Dinner which consisted in: Chicken (there were not any fresh turkeys), sweet potatoes, Spaghetti 'n cheese (Mac'n Cheese), dressing, gravy, green beans, and apple/cranberry Pie with Vanilla Ice cream.
After the fantastic dinner we returned to bed with our tummies ready to burst.
Today we planned our next destination and are planning on going into town for a little shopping before we leave tomorrow.
Looking forward to the finish line of the United States of America!!

WOS and Vesper
