Lets just accept this as a weird blog post. Below are the things I can say about the places we visited...but in the end all I have is immense thanks for my family. They are truly wonderful people and Jess and I are blessed to be a part of their world. As such, this blog post might be irrelevant to many...so hang in there if you get bored...Bangkok, street food and large Buddhas are just around the corner.
Seattle-Fish throwing markets, Starbucks, rain and grunge. Well no grunge on this trip but I will credit Maya Cole with several excellent ballet shows.
Vancouver-White rock, cousins and family members galore, Starbucks, and a basketball game that some family members will never live down. (Zubin and Dustin you know who you are. LOL)
Both Jess and I have actually started this blog post several times and are just not sure how to put into words the fun we had. So in the end I am not going to really try, I am going to wait for Shilo and maybe Asif to send me the pictures from the Saturday night party and the amazing sunday brunch so that everyone can just see how great it was. In the mean time some thanks are in order.
Larissa, Scott and Maya-thanks for being amazing hosts and wonderful ballerinas (Scott that includes you, your lifts and pirouettes just kept improving.)
Shilo-you were an incredible host thank you for taking the day of and showing us all Vancouver had to offer. I think we were able to see every single place you thought we might enjoy moving when we return...and of course white rock! Also thank you again for hosting the party on Saturday night.
Gulshan, Amir and Laila-Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner. The food was extraordinary and the company even better. Plus we actually got to visit White Rock instead of having Shilo just point at it from a distance.
Asif and Larissa-Thank you for inviting us to Dusty's game while they didn't prevail I am sure I made a spectacle out of myself enough for them to know our family should not be reckoned with. Also Larissa, that soup was delicious Shai is a fool for eating before he came over.
Shai and Behin-thanks for being great family and cousins. Shai I am sorry that we didn't get to go to the plant on Saturday but at least you were able to go to the store and get juice which I imagine was a big accomplishment for you.
Shamim, Iqbal, Omar, Sarah and Sasha-Thank you for a lovely brunch on Sunday. Jess and I truly appreciate the time you took out of your day for us. Apologies for crashing it with a whole gaggle of family. Shan, Mike and Judah, sorry we missed you but we will catch you next time.
Finally all my younger cousins- YOU GUYS ROCK. It was such fun hanging out with all of you over the time we were in Vancouver and Seattle. You are the next generation of our family and I am exceptionally proud of all of you. Thank you for all the laughter and good times.
All in all the family time was incredible. Thank you to everyone for being a part of it. (Pictures, if someone sends them to me, to follow)
PS. What's even more humorous about this post...is that most of the people mentioned here will never even read it. For those of you that do...we love you...for those of you that don't...it's ok we love you too and more than likely my father will call you and read this whole post to you.
