Farewell Wet Westcoast, Hello Midwest

Maybe I should have taken transit to the airport, since I leave for the airport in an two hours and haven’t been able to sleep a wink. :zoned: I really hope I can sleep on the trip down on either plane.

For those of you who follow me on twitter and noticed I’ve been talking about a traveling… no I’m not going anywhere warm like Duane but I’m off to visit my best friend for US Thanksgiving and helping her pack as her husband got a job in another state, so this will be our last thanksgiving dinner in Indiana. I’m looking forward for her being a time zone different instead of the three hour difference we are now. Though secretly, I really wish they would move to Seattle instead (cause we’d be in the same time zone and it would be a 3 hour drive)

I’ll try and update this site, flickr and check in on twitter when I’m down there …. if not I’ll be back on December 2nd with a lot of updating to do :|

Have a great day

Thanksgiving Long Weekend

Odd! I had this post set for Tuesday the 13th but just noticed it didn’t publish. So here it is..

My thanksgiving was filled with outrigger and spending time with the family and friends. On Saturday instead of the normal dragon boat practice, we opted to take out the 6man outrigger instead since not that many people wanted to paddle on the long weekend. The lake did not look choppy/white cap-ish but there were pockets were we paddled though were I just felt like I was gonna be seasick if we stopped paddling. Later that night we had our family thanksgiving dinner, the food was amazing there was barely any leftovers. The picture above is the pumpkin cheesecake that my cousins girlfriend made.

Sunday I helped out at a Outrigger regatta as one of their timers. It was great fun but for the fact it was freezing cold all day long. I was wearing two of my hoodies and I was still cold. And on holiday Monday my Mom and I headed over to my best friends for her vegetarian thanksgiving dinner.

Now only a month and a bit until I’m state side for US thanksgiving dinner.

For you Canadians, How was your thanksgiving?
Whats the one thing you look forward to on Thanksgiving?
