Today is November 6th and that means it is officially 18 days until Thanksgiving. Typically weather for turkey day is beautiful, hovering right around 70+. You want to wear your fall clothes, but there have been some Thanksgivings that I wore a summer dress. Crazy right? But that just means that it is a perfect day to feed yourself silly and then go walk it off on the beach. Or you could wake up early, do the Turkey Trot on Kiawah that starts at 9:30 am at Boardwalk 5, and then go eat until your heart is content! (The Turkey Trot is either a one mile walk or a one to three mile run)
Your dining options on Kiawah are endless. My suggestions would be to go to the hotel, The Sanctuary, and eat at either their grand buffet or in Jasmine Porch. The food is endless and delicious, and you don't have to worry about the clean up. (Who likes to clean up on their vacation anyways??)
The Grand Oaks Buffet offers two seatings at either 12:00 Noon or 3 PM and also includes an adorable children's room adjacent to the Grand Oaks Ballroom. Children can sit at mini tables and chairs and enjoy kid friendly meal items. $70 per adult, $28 per child (plus tax and gratuity)
The Grand Buffet at Jasmine Porch offers a more traditional restaurant style Thanksgiving meal and is $62 per adult and $24 per child. They begin taking reservations at 12 Noon until 8 PM.
Live music is offered at all dining options in the hotel. It really is a beautiful display of very delicious food made by talented chefs. You don't want to miss out.
New this year is The Sanctuary offering Thanksgiving Pies To Go. For $15 you can pre-order a pie and pick it up straight from the hotel. Who wouldn't want a couple of these to nibble on either prior to Thanksgiving or the day or two after?
