I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving weekend.
We spent a night at the Radisson Martinique in Manhattan as a way to use our last Club Carlson free night before it expired.
Did you all do a lot of Black Friday shopping? We didn’t go out and wait on crazy lines for anything but I did purchase us a flight for February.
