Going, going, gone....for a week
Well, gang, I'm heading to Fairmont Hot Springs in beautiful British Columbia, to spend Thanksgiving week with my kids and grandkids at the Fairmont Villas Resort. We went there last December for three days, and had a great time, so we decided then that we would all go up for the entire week and have Thanksgiving there. So, we leave tomorrow and won't be back until next Saturday afternoon. Well, actually, The Spouse, Daughter, and Grandkids are heading up tomorrow. Then, Oldest Son and his family will come up on Sunday night, Son-in-Law, who has to work on Monday, will drive up Tuesday morning, Spouse and I will drive back home Tuesday to pick up Youngest Son, who has class until 4:30 Tuesday and who doesn't have a car capable of making the trek in the snow to the resort. We'll spend the night at home, pick up some of the perishables we'll need for Thursday's dinner, then drive back up early Wednesday morning with Youngest Son in tow. Oldest Son and his family have to be back home Friday evening for Granddaughter's AAU basketball tournament, and the rest of us will drive back Saturday morning. I can't wait to get away for a week after the hectic schedule I've been keeping. We will soak in the hot springs, enjoy the resort's pool and spa, and partake of the many scheduled activities they have daily at the resort, including family movie night every night, wildlife walks, and more. It should be a lot of fun, and with two full kitchens and two more kitchens with everything but an oven, we'll have plenty of space for cooking the big feast. We have two full units, each with a master bedroom, bathroom, living room and huge kitchen, plus a lock-off that has a partial kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom, and living room with a sofa bed for the little kids, each about 1300 square feet, and each with sleeping capacity for 8. So, I'd say we're all set!
Needless to say, you won't be hearing from me for a week. I'll miss you all. I hope you all have a very wonderful Thanksgiving filled with good food, good friends, and good family times.
