Thanksgiving Weekend

I drove down to Trois-Rivières, well actually Mont-Carmel for the long weekend, and actually for me it was an extra long weekend as I saved a holiday (one day) just for that I mean it takes four hours to drive there, might as well have an extra day.

Shawn came with me, I am so happy he wanted to and he was pretty patient too as the drive took longer than expected, we left Ottawa at 1:30pm close to two in the afternoon and we ended up getting stuck in rush hour traffic in montreal. I think we were stuck there 2 hours or something. Than more traffic jam around Maskinongé due to construction, we finally made it to my parents for a home cooked meal. Think he loved what my mom made and so did I., traditional Quebec meal, yummy.

It took a long time to get there but with Shawn in the car with me, it didn't seem as bad, ok I was tired of the traffic but knowing he was next to me, made me happy.

Normally at this time of he year I like going apple picking but we couldn't because it was raining, but showed Shawn around a little, Trois-Rivières, Shawinigan, Grand-mère... he met my aunt and uncle just because my aunt wanted to see my cat again. Everyone loves him, practically because he isn't your typical cat, much more affectionate.

Took a walk around where I grew up, we were followed by my parents little neighbour, think he was trying to stop us holding hands because he has a cute little crush, awwwwwwwwwwwwww... my fault for drawing a dragon and giving it to him. haha

Shawn somewhat adopted a little doggy that he called poopikins, the dog followed us everywhere we went after Shawn held her in his arms, actually got in my mom's car and wanted to go for a ride with us... so cute.

We went to my parents cottage as well, I mentioned to my dad that Shaawn told me he'd love to see it and they said they actually needed to go so we went on sunday, took some pictures enjoyed sitting on the deck close to shawn - my boyfriend - doesn't make me giggle so much anymore, perhaps because I love shawn more and more each day.

We watched, gremlins 2 and batman, well part of batman since I was so tired fell asleep but we watched it on sunday at my place. YAY!

My parents also left me some leaves to rake, I always love doing that, I know to most it is a chore but to me it is fun.

I will post more pictures on this later once they have ben uploaded.

I love you Shawn, loved that you came with me on the road trip this thanksgiving.
