Happy Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving Day, we chilled out & relaxed all morning. We watched the Macy's Parade, of course. We had dinner reservations in downtown LA so we decided to head to Hollywood first. We brought the fam to the Walk of Fame to see the fun sidewalk & crazy costumes.

We then went to the Millenium Biltmore Hotel for dinner. This is an old & historic hotel. It had beautiful architecture which was very detailed, including the ceilings. This hotel opened in 1923 and has hosted grand events, celebrities, & parties. It was even home to the Oscars in the 30's & 40's! JFK was here in 1960 for the Democratic National Convention.

The hotel is still used for movie & TV shoots.



Here's a photo from the hotel's history hall of Shirley Temple & Walt Disney at the Oscars.

We had a great dinner at the hotel. They had a fixed menu with a couple of choices for appetizer, main meal, & dessert. We started the dinner with a glass of champagne. Then, I had the Butternut Squash Soup. For dinner, I had the Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, stuffing, & vegetables. For dessert, I had the apple tart. We also all split a bottle of wine. It was delicious! Eating holiday dinner out at a restaurant is great - no preparation or clean up!


We tried to take a picture after dinner but we were just totally exhausted. haha. You can definitely tell we are fading in this pic. After dinner, we definitely went home & crashed. Of course, we put on Home Alone but I think I only made it to where Kevin goes runs around the house after realizing he is home by himself. hahaha.
