American Thanksgiving

So I had my first American Thanksgiving. I've been to the United States before but it was always touristy destinations, this time I went to Muskegon Michigan. Everything I've seen on movies about so called "small town Americans" is true. Thanksgiving is a huge deal, convenience is a huge deal, Black Friday is a huge deal, football is a huge deal, and their local high school football team is an even huger deal. I'm not saying I didn't like the place but I guess I had a little bit of culture shock. I actually had a really good time. I went with Josh and part of his family. Muskegon is his dad's home town so he has tuns of relatives there. Thanksgiving day we had dinner with about 30 of his relatives. There was sooo much food, and everybody was really great. The next day was the biggest shopping day of the year in the US so we participated in that. Overall it was a lot of visiting, eating and relaxing. When we left we went through Detroit, and made a pit stop in Windsor for a few hours to visit Josh's step moms family. Then back to Toronto. Tomorrow I'm back to work :(

This is for Tamara, it's a picture of Detroit and that big white building is where the Red Wings play. Sorry Tamara, it was too far to throw eggs at.
