So, after 16 months of Caribbean "vacation", we finally made it to the great land of America! But before we arrived to this point, we made a quick stop in the homeland for Christmas Holidays! We were able pack an entirely new wardrobe suited for the winter months, enjoy some Canadian food, shopping, and civilization, buy a brand new Toyota Corolla (ok, lease one) and most importantly, spend some quality time with our families and friends!
Our first taste of Canada was this wonderful Doctor display from my family at the airport! Best Family Ever!!
We flew in just in time for Jenna's birthday celebration, which occurred on the first day back, followed by Rob's birthday party the next day, Carol and Jamie's birthday dinner the following day, and my Mom's birthday the day after that! It was great to see so many friends and family members just in the first few days!
Besides the holidays, we were also able to enjoy the company of our family and friends involving food! Yummy Canadian sit down restaurants with people we love - Perf!
Finally, we celebrated a wonderful Christmas with our families at home in Canada. It was a much needed vacation for Andee, and we look forward to returning in June!
After Christmas, we got ready for our road trip journey to Maine, but I'll save that for another blog! And for one day and one day only of our vacation, it snowed!
Aw, such a nice picture of us girls! So great to have you home, Di! Hope you're having fun in Maine.

YAY home for the holidays!! I am so happy you were able to make it to my birthday party. I am also thankful that you were a trooper and stuck it out even though you hadn't even been in Canada for 12 hours yet and were so tired! There's a good friend right there. It sucks that we didn't see each other more, but at least we had our Tim Horton's date where the employees almost gave my soup away to someone else.
ReplyDeleteMiss you! Who knows..maybe I'll pack myself in your mom's suitcase when she visits you in Maine... ;)
Eh?
