Thankful “You Have a Friend in Me”~ No. 8 in Thanksgiving Challenge

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Geno and I love to travel and one of the most memorable trips we’ve taken was with our traveling buddies, Gene’s brother and wife to Antarctica. Spending time with the penguins, sighting them on icebergs…..so many wonderful memories all wrapped up in a memorable video:

 

The time came to go and I have to admit we were not ready to leave and still remain thankful for the time spent exploring and remembering “You have a Friend in Me.”

That had to be a great vacation to be in the middle of all those penguins as they make their march to the sea

That's an adorable picture of all those penguins!  I would have a hard time not wanting to bring a bunch of them home with me.

My daddy was there when I was born.  I have photos he took in 1965 of the penguins.  I love your photos.
