thanksgiving on the west coast...


Well on November 17th I flew to Bellingham, Washington. There I surprised my Friend Joeybeth Wilson(pictured) for her birthday. Her Husband James and I planed this back in september. James actually was the biggest culprit i just got to be the surprise guest, that was very fun :D. SO lets see... here is a brief overview of my trip. I was in Surry, British COlumbia Canada on Saturday and Sunday, saw someother places in that area too. On Sunday night we went to Maple falls, Wa for the night. We then began our drive down the west coast, I-5 most of the way. We drove from Washington to Los Osos, Califronia where we would spend thanksgiving. Then On thursday evening we drove another 5 hours south to San Diego where i would catch a plane Friday early afternoon.

Lots of driving and fun... I got to go the a HUGE bookstore in portland, Oregan(Powell's). I could spend a week just there. They also had a big dollar store which was pretty cool too. Then there was altitude sickness in Northern California. That was the downer of the drive. Once out of the mountains i was better. i saw some great countryside. on thanksgiving day i went to the beach and road a motorcycle all in one day. Quite the exciting holiday for a girl from the freezing Northeast.
here are some pics...
So that was thanksgiving
