We had a once in a lifetime Thanksgiving this year. The stars aligned, and somehow Duke was playing in a tournament in the Bahamas, Janet was turning 60, and every single member of the Doug Packer family made it down to Atlantis to celebrate, eat turkey and, most importantly, watch Duke win the Battle for Atlantis.
Watching a Duke game with her grandchildren. I don't know if Janet has ever had more fun.
The kids did surprisingly well during the games. Anna didn't make it all the way through, but close. Those are tired eyes.
We were close to the action. The games were in the converted hotel ballroom. Not a bad seat in the house.
Duke (then #5) beat #2 Louisville. Of course they did. This was Janet's birthday.

We tried to get a family picture. Dress code: Khaki and white. I forgot Ella's dress, my shirt and Anna's dress. Sweet.
I remembered my white pants, but at the last minute wore my khakis. Way to ruin the pic, Alissa. At least Momo, the photographer, had us place our hands naturally, so that pretty much saved the picture.
It was a totally calm, overcast day. Perfect for pictures.
Thanks, Packers, for a great great trip.
Lauren and Alisha did their blog posts in a more timely manner. And with better pictures. Check 'em out.
