As most of you probably already know, Nathan and I headed east over the Thanksgiving long weekend to visit his newly relocated parents and sister. It was good to see them all again and nice to see where they're living now. It's very... different... from here, that is. Not that it's different in a bad way though! I can definitely see the appeal of the place, atmosphere, people, culture, etc., but I think you really need to be at a certain stage in life to do it. Semi-retirement - definitely. Prime working years - not so much. I found it quite hard to figure out what exactly people DO out there. But at the same time, I would love to do nothing out there.
That being said, I don't think I could move there. I'd missed the mountains, the prairies and the sunny winters WAY too much. I'm just not cut out for grey and cloudy. I can't handle it without getting extremely depressed. Nice place to visit though. I can recommend a good B&B if you want to go. =D
I've posted pictures from our trip on our Picasa site. And for your viewing entertainment, below is a video of dear little Belal. This was from our trip to Risser's Beach. We were goofing around and Belal suddenly realized that sand was fun to dig in. We all had a good laugh over this. By the time we left the beach it looked like a scene from the movie "Holes"! Enjoy!
