A Week Long Holiday

For the first part of our holiday break we traveled to a small town 3ish hours south of Phnom Penh on the coast called Kep. We stayed for 3 nights. We had a great time of eating, eating, and more.....eating. We went with the Jones' and we had a great relaxing time. Gideon got to watch the stats online of the Broncos for the first time this season while we sat in the lounge of our bungalow we stayed at, eating our complimentary breakfast and looking out at the ocean! We rented a moto to drive to the next town over, because we heard they serve the BEST RIBS EVER (look below for photo so you can too start drooling)! AND they were right! We also took a short 30 minute boat ride over to Rabbit Island where we snorkled ( not the best snorkeling), ate fresh crab with pepper, sunbathed, and snorkled some more! Check out some pictures below of Kep!









We returned on Thanksgiving day! Our Thanksgiving was not traditional. We ended up eating out at a French Restaurant. We ate chicken, mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, and a greek salad. It was just the two of us! We had and have soo much to be thankful for. We did get to skype with both of our families on their Thanksgivings. I really wanted to try cooking a dinner for some of our friends. We were thinking about doing it on the Friday after, but after Thanksgiving day had passed I felt like we had celebrated it and all the hard work of cooking a big meal for lots of people wasn't so exciting to me anymore. So instead we went out again with some friends and had Khmer style BBQ where they bring you the raw meat and veggies and you cook it yourself on the BBQ that is at your table. It was a fun evening.

By the end of the week long vacation we were ready to get back to school. We honestly missed seeing our kids! And we are people that like our routines so it was good to get back into our daily school routines.

We hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for each and everyone of you!
