For Thanksgiving this year, Joey, Lisa's boyfriend invited all of us up to spend the holiday with his family. Dad and I stayed in Seattle for a couple days, then we had Thanksgiving dinner with the Meyerson's. On Friday we drove out west to their beach house in Ocean Shores, Washington. We geared up in warm clothing and went clam digging. Normally, the weather is very cold, rainy, and windy. The weather turned out to be quite decent as it was sunny all day. As it turns out clam digging is a very technical process. Afterwards we had to clean nearly 80 clams, prepared them 5 different ways, and I actually liked them (fried that is).
