First American Thanksgiving

My family and I got to spend our first American thanksgiving ( we had celebrated thanksgiving before, but in Canada it's at a different time) with our family from Houston and other family friends. It was a nice vacation, the place we stayed at was beautiful and I would recommend the people who live somewhat near Horseshoe Bay to go check it out.  Here's a picture of the view of one of our rooms...

We also got to visit the small town of Fredericksburg, Tx which was an hour away from Horseshoe Bay. We went on Thanksgiving day, which turned out to be a huge fail since everything was closed (of course). It was very unfortunate since the town was so cute with all of their shops and German inspired restaurants. So I convinced my parents to go again on friday, but again it was another fail. It wasn't exactly a fail since we actually got to see the town again and see that it wasn't deserted like it was on thursday, but we didn't spend as much time as I wished we had because we got caught up wine tasting. I think in the end we spent like 30 min. in the town and then everybody decided to go back to the Resort. I thankfully got to do a little shopping before we left, but this made me sad because there was so much variety! Everything was so cute, I really wish I could've stayed...

One of my favorite parts of this vacation (besides getting to spend time with my family) is the news I got... I finally got the au pair contract!  My host family finally received the contract after…wait….after 7 weeks! when it was only supposed to take 3 weeks. But I'm happy that we finally got it and that it didn't get declined! I can't believe I'm going to Paris! I've had quite some time now to get used to the idea, but only now its starting to sink in… and it still feels so unreal!
