Thanksgiving dinner on the beach in Roatan
Another year in Hondo and another happy happy Thanksgiving. This year, we decided rather than staying in Ceiba we would head to Roatan and enjoy some tropical paradise while we still could.
The trip started out rough when we arrived at the airport to find out that our flight had been cancelled. Granted, they didn't cancel it until we were going to board - but apparently if the runway is wet, the plane cannot pick up enough speed to take off or land so it was a no go. We all (we traveled with some friends from school) jumped back in the car and sped towards the ferry to see if we could get some last minute tickets. We arrived in plenty of time and were able to get on the ferry but - talk about some rough waters. Owen and Luke napped the whole time and I distracted myself with the on board movie 'The Decent II'.
When we arrived it was much later but we were extremely excited to get on the island and head to our house.
We ended up renting the same house we stayed in with Nonny and Poppy (The Purple Palace). It was great, we had our amazing infinity pool and were able to stay comfortable with Owen for the long weekend.
Not a bad view on Thanksgiving morning
On Thanksgiving, we ended up not cooking because we didn't have time to make a turkey, so we went down to the beach and had a Thanksgiving buffet while watching football. Not too shaby for Owen's first real holiday.

Other than that, it was a lot of relaxing by the pool and reading. Owen tried the pool a couple times but thought it was a little too cold so we played on the deck a lot.
On the flight back - we all piled into one of the smallest planes ever and Owen and I were asked to sit in the front seat since we were the smallest. Sadly, one of the propellers did not start, so we moved to a different plant (oh darn). But it was still a pretty interesting experience. :)
