I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that my American friends had great Thanksgivings.

I did not cook dinner this year. Instead, we met relatives and had Thanksgiving dinner on a boat that took us around the bay. it was great fun. My girls danced a lot and we all went on the deck of the boat as we went under the Golden Gate bridge and cheered as we looked up at the bottom of the bridge.

After dinner we drove to Monterey Bay and stayed there for two nights. We took in the Aquarium and drove along the coast line, stopping to collect shells and watch the sea lions fight for their spots on the rocks.

Our moms came with us and the girls had fun running back and forth between rooms. When it came time to sleep, Hannah was so excited to be sharing a bed with us, but each night it took her two hours to finally settle down and fall asleep. We all were glad to be back in our beds last night, especially since we all picked up colds on the trip.

And I’ve just realized that there are only a few days left this month. I had to drop my NaNoWriMo wrting last week and now there’s no way I can finish by the end of the month. How are my writing buddies doing? Anyone interested in carrying this process through until Christmas. My time will free up in December, since my class ends Dec. 5. What do you say? Or are you going to finish on time?
