Thanksgiving at Arlington Beach

We are headed up to the cabin for Thanksgiving.  Instead of cooking dinner at the cabin, we join 300 of our closest friends at Kinney Memorial Lodge and have supper there.  It’s only $17 a ticket, the food is amazing and it’s a nice night that makes some money for Arlington as well.  It’s all good… especially the food.
