Following that visit I made a detour to Muir Woods before picking up Audrey at the airport and heading to Ma &#038; Pa&#8217;s for Thanksgiving.  The annual family gathering saw much delicious food consumed, much laughter, and a display of amazing skills in playing Uno.<\/li>\n<li>The month ended with Audrey&#8217;s birthday, which she celebrated with her tradition of roller skating and a visit to the library, after which I took her out for a fancy steak dinner before we joined her choir friends for celebratory beverages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-main\" src=\"\/photos\/images\/2017-11-A\/1032-muir-woods-barred-owl.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" alt=\"Barred owl in Muir Woods\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">Barred owl posing for tourists in Muir Woods.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-main\" src=\"\/photos\/images\/2017-11-A\/1044-muir-woods-redwoods.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" alt=\"Muir Woods Redwoods\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">Muir Woods Redwoods and a cloudy sky.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media img-main\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF;
