Thanksgiving in Okanagan...with Moose

My wife and I went to the Okanagan to spend it with her parents. The drive up was pleasant and light on traffic. Probably because we both took Friday off of work.

We stopped in Hope and our old standby cafe was closed down so we drove around and discovered a super good place called Blue Moose Cafe. Their atmosphere is great and food is very delicious. Their Chai tea latte and rooibus drinks are also delicious but the rooibus is heavy on the honey. Gas was also quite cheap in Hope this weekend. The rest of the drive up was uneventful and with a quick stopoff at Quantum Games in Kelwona we arrived at my wife's parents place in record time.

Over the weekend we talked, watched movies, saw some friends, water-skied (not me as I just watched in the boat) and relaxed.
 


For Thanksgiving dinner Saturday we also had Moose that my father-in-law was involved with hunting it. I had only had moose a few times in my life and this was the best tasting one yet. It was a roast and was cooked perfectly with the meat being so tender we could have used butter knives to cut it. No horseradish needed for this moose!


The drive back was also uneventful and we made such good time that we made record time coming back.
