Without question, my favorite day of the year is Thanksgiving. I love spending the better part of the day cooking, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, celebrating the holiday with family and friends, and watching "Miracle on 34th Street" for the first time of the season. Moreover, the sentiment behind the holiday is perfect.
Thanks to technology, we shared the holiday with our faraway family. And we did watch the parade and most of the movie. But cooking turkey in our motel kitchenette wasn't much of an option, so we made reservations at a popular local restaurant - The Pump House.
With its turn-of-the-century atmosphere, the restaurant features the 1890's Gold Rush motif and a clever assortment of Alaska memorabilia. All the furnishings are authentic, old, and charmingly showcased. Most importantly, the food is very good. Along with the masses, we enjoyed an excellent turkey buffet with all the trimmings - possibly the first Thanksgiving meal I've had in a restaurant.
Despite the treacherous conditions, it looks like you pieced together a very peaceful Thanksgiving. The Pump House looks like a good alternative to the traditional home-cooked meal. I must say, you missed out on some serious gustatory extravagance in Navarre!
