All photos in this post were taken with my point and shoot, just FYI.
I wasn't "allowed" to take my big camera-- which really was for the best, ha;)
I slept the whole way up north, as I only got 45 minutes of sleep the night before-- I was trying to get so many things done!
Here was our view from our cabin when we arrived on Wednesday:
30 minutes later, I got a massage at the Grand View Lodge's spa... a gift from my parents-- it was SO NICE, and it was
a perfect way to start the mini vacation.
Aaron sat in a huge, but cozy and warm room reading the paper while I was getting my massage. I thought this corner was pretty...
View from our room when we got back:
The next morning, we had a wonderful breakfast, and tried not to eat too much, because at 1pm, we were scheduled to be seated for the huge
Thanksgiving meal!!! After breakfast, we came back and watched the Thanksgiving parade together, which I haven't actually done in years.
Then we headed to Thanksgiving meal!
It was a little walk from the cabin, but 'tis the season for cold weather!!
We not only had turkey, but basically, everything you could want at a Thanksgiving meal... it was a super pretty room
(big chalet-type building, with large fireplaces, and seasonal lighting), and the food was amaaaazing... they even had
shrimp and scallops, other sea food, tons of good cheeses, and of course all the traditional stuff. I loved it all,
but the mashed potatoes were pretty fantastic.
We went back to our room and of course took naps in the sunshine:
In the evening, we sipped wine and ate chocolates by the fire, and watched a re-run of The Office
(Jim and Pam's wedding:)). The next day was relaxing as well... it was really just a great time-- good food,
good relaxation, good company... and so much to be thankful for.
When we drove home, I was awake the whole time, because I finally felt rested! :)
