Thanksgiving was nice. I like Bainbridge.  It's like going far, far away without having to actually go far, far away. Renting a house for several days was not that expensive, and this would be a good way to spend a weekend, even. We did learn some useful things.

1. Just because they say they have Internet service doesn't mean they actually do. No Internet, and no cell phone service were actually available at the house.  After we got over the initial freak out (No calls! No homework! No email!) we were fine.

2. Cranium doesn't take very long to play if you're good at words and can hum a tune. Our co-players assured us each round would take at least an hour. Not with Mark and I playing. Heh. We KILLED those word worms. And I had no idea that, even after all these years, my ex could still interpret my humming correctly. Wow.   And Mark makes an excellent Mermaid. Don't ask, don't tell.

3. Just because they say the beach is a block away doesn't mean it's, like, actually a beach you can walk on or anything.  On the other hand, we didn't really care.  The giant mansion with the lighthouse in front that belonged to some very rich people was amazing enough.

4. Yarn!   The yarn store in Winslow still sells Yarn!  Oh wait, no one but me's ever excited by that.  Sorry.

5. A house with three bedrooms can actually sleep about 15 people.

And we got back early. Woo hoo.  That's something to be thankful for too.
