It has been warm and cloudy here all week long and I was finding the whole thing incredibly depressing because it's just that yuck kind of weather that won't commit to being a rainy day yet the sun won't shine either.

Here's what I know for sure right now. A lot of people go to theme parks on Thanksgiving Day. I had no idea. Here's the other thing I know for sure. There are so many great sales going on right now that will Read More
