Thanksgiving Take 2

We looked up the Grace Cathedral Online before we even left Orlando.  I was very excited to visit and was even more excited when I visited the online calendar that said there was a Thanksgiving service at 10 a.m.  on Thanksgiving morning. Scott and I woke up, got ready and headed to a coffee shop to split a ham sandwich, coffee and hot chocolate.  We were very close to the church and figured we'd need to be there early.  We took photos outside and then headed in.  Nobody was there.  A member was walking out and told us there wasn't a service except for a collaborative one several blocks away at a Baptist Church.  I was so disappointed.  I wanted to experience a service at this amazing Episcopal Church, especially on Thanksgiving.  At least it was open to the public and we were able to see inside.  They let us roam the entire church, through the back, the chapels...everything.  I took over 80 photos of the experience.


 Absolutely breathtaking

 Our San Fran Hotel...Top of the Mark is way up at the top


 Thanksgiving dinner and champagne
 Nothing like starting Thanksgiving dinner off with clam chowda...
 ...and finishing it off with a homemade Irish Coffee from the original location.
Thanks for reading.  Cheers!!
