Years before Wayne met the love of his life, Bobby, he and his family held family Thanksgiving weeks at Oak Island. They’d rent a house for everyone to gather, on the beach, with all of the dogs in tow. The days were spent with the dogs playing in the water, digging holes, lounging on the deck..all while their peoples were catching on the year's events and making enough food for Thanksgiving to feed a small army.
When Bobby came along, he joined in the festivities. The first year joining, Wayne made sure there was a small balcony off of one of the bedrooms where he could get away if the large amounts of family and friends became too much.
Soon, Bobby’s mom and day came out from Indianapolis to meet the extended family and join in on the fun.
But when the young’uns, as Wayne’s family says, started to get married, the Thanksgiving week at Oak Island became a thing in the past. But, memories will live on forever. New stories were meant to be written.
