I know I'm almost a month behind here, but I finally had time to sit down and go through the pictures that I took for Thanksgiving. I've mentionted this a couple times now, but for Thanksgiving my family decided to rent a beach house down in North Carolina. It was really awesome because it allowed me to still work so I could take a longer Christmas break. This was really touching to me that my whole family (dogs included) came to visit me and see what my life is like down south. Let's be honest though, no one was complaining about the view.
Let's start with the beach house. Holy crap that thing was amazing! It was three floors (third floor lead to the cars and beach access), with high ceilings and spacious rooms. The three bedrooms (including mine) had access to a balcony that lead to the beach. In the master bathroom there was a jacuzzi bathtub! The top floor had very open kitchen which made Thanksgiving cooking a whole lot easier. The living room complete with a bar area, board game storage, and a small tv that we couldn't redirect in a different position. The fourth bedroom and bathroom was upstairs as well. There was a large dinning room table (again perfect for this occassion) that we played card and board games on every night. Then of course sliding glass doors that led to the balcony that overlooked the ocean. It was a gorgeous place and I'm so thankful to my mom for doing the research and finding this place. It was beautiful.
Thanksgiving was so much fun too! Whoever says vegetarians hate Thanksgiving you are wrong. We eating everything else except the turkey! Green bean casarole, yams, mashed potatoes.. it's heaven. My dad even made a vegetarian version of the stuffing for me! We all sat around the large dinning room table, listened to the ocean hit the shore, drank champagne, and enjoyed each other's company.
Thanksgiving was such a fun event this year and it even started a new tradition. As my brother and I get older we will be traveling and following our dreams which could very possibly send us out of state from time to time. It's so heart warming to know that my family is willing to follow us wherever those dreams take us.
I know my mom will read this and I just wanted to say thanks Mama Katz for organizing this beautiful Thanksgiving. I'm already looking forward to next year.
xoxo, Michele
