Thanksgiving at the coast

6 years ago (it was a Wednesday) I tried a new class at the local gym. I wrote that it was a weird kind of dance class but I liked it. Today, I celebrated my 6th Niaversary by team teaching in that same room. Tripti has gathered a great group of folks -  it was super fun teaching and dancing with a large group of enthusiastic people. Also today was my first day with my fitbit flex 2, which said I took about 4,000 steps during the class.

Usually we make reservations far in advance for Thanksgiving dinner, but for some reason this year we didn’t. By the time we got around to it nobody had any room. So Tuesday I stopped at Zupan’s and stocked up on cheese and charcuterie, and we brought a wonderful bottle of Domaine Drouhin Chardonnay.  It occurred to me when I got home that I should also have picked up some pre-made thanksgiving food, but it was too late. So instead we had a traditional thanksgiving meal of jumbo Hebrew National hotdogs, baked beans, and sauerkraut. Then we finished packing up (there are families who go away for a month who take less than the two of us packed for the weekend) and headed out to the Waves Motel.

When we got there it was mostly sunny, so we went for a walk on the beach down to Haystack rock and back through town. There was a lot of kelp. Town was deserted, but beautifully decorated. Once we got back we unpacked and had our dinner. It was wonderful! The sun set as we were eating dinner and we think we saw a green flash.

After dinner we watched the movie Coraline, which was weird. And I did much knitting on the front of my second pillow. Then we went for another short walk, on the beach and back through town. The folks at EVOO had been sitting down for dinner at 4:00 when we went out for our first walk, and they were still eating at almost 9:00. We think our way was better.


Back to the hotel for pie and A Garfield Thanksgiving and knitting.

Sorry about no photos. Too full of pie.
