While I Was Away...

My husband and I went to visit my mom and my sister for Thanksgiving this weekend.  We had an amazing time, filled with family, laughter, sightseeing and food!  We came back rested, pampered and full.  As promised, here is a photo-journal of our weekend.

Friday

Here are a few photos of the lovely food we ate this weekend.  My mom is a wonderful cook.  That's her hand in the third photo, preparing the root vegetables for Sunday's dinner.

Saturday

On Saturday, we went for a drive through the countryside to try to find the perfect diner.  I think we succeeded.  The diner we went to had a huge salt and pepper shaker collection on display lining the walls of the restaurant.

Sunday

Waiting for Thanksgiving dinner turned into an impromptu photo shoot in my mom's back yard.  I've been here with my camera before!  This time it was a slightly more somber fall garden I captured.  My sister also made a good model for my camera.

Monday

On Monday, we visited a few national parks.  The first photo was taken at Cameron Lake.  At Stamp Falls (photos 2 - 5), the salmon were spawning.  The houseboats in the rain on Great Central Lake (photos 6 - 8) looked like the perfect place to curl up with a good book in front of the fireplace.
