Thanksgiving 2009

You know you are in an affluent area when the homeless are drinking Starbucks and that's exactly what we saw on our Thanksgiving trip to Northern, CA. My first Thanksgiving spent on the beach and I was not disappointed as we ate well, relaxed, socialized and of course drank responsibly. Kristy's Great Uncle's family was kind enough to host us and we were made extremely welcome. We hiked on Friday and when Mack said we would know each other well enough for skinny dipping in the freezing cold lake at the top, I thought he was joking .... I chose to go in fully clothed, but that was more to do with the fact I slipped and fell in. We really did appreciate the warmth and hospitality of our hosts and we hope to get to join them again.

It was not technically Dylan's first trip to the beach as we took him to Felixstowe when we went back to the UK. As he had a melt down and it was raining the whole time we never made to the actual beach so we are not counting it. He loved Stinson beach and we spent many hours chasing him up and down the sand.
