I was going to make this Wordless Wednesday, but I talk too much… so we’re going to talk about the Best Thanksgiving of my life!
I made the bed with the cat in it. Oddly, he likes it!
“No mom, I’m not ready to get up yet!
Thanksgiving came early because I had to “try” my sweet potato casserole and corn bread.
Oddly, the TJ’s brownies I made for dessert are supposed to make 12 pieces. I only have 8. Hmmm.
The BEST Thanksgiving throwback…
Even though Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year, I missed it one year to go to Costa Rica. It was the BEST vacation of my life and every year Ben and I reminisce about how awesome it was…
We ziplined –
Made friends
and enemies?
Drank Fresh Coffee and Coconut Juice
We rented a car and drove around the west side of the country. There were beaches and volcanos and hot springs and tons of friendly people and amazing food and non-stop fun and adventure. I would 1000% recommend Costa Rica as a vacation to anyone.
Climbed a volcano
Ate local food while being attacked by raccoons on the beach…
If you can take one vacation in your life go to Costa Rica (preferably, super sh!t faced in love with some random guy you just met). You might forget you’re missing out on turkey and pie. You might swim with sea turtles on Thanksgiving. You might fall in love and get married. You might, so go for it…

Aren’t those TJ’s brownies amazing!! I’m totally obsessed with them right now!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Costa Rica looks fun – love the pic of the coatis!
Happy Thanksgiving!

OMG does that actually say “reduced guilt” on the package?!?! that is hilarious! And kind of insulting, but it’s so true that you can’t really be insulted.
Also, my cat loves to be under blankets and things too. Strange kitties. Happy Thanksgiving!
runeatrepeat says
Yeah, they’re Reduced Guilt because they are similar to the “No Pudge” brand. But, I added chocolate chips to the mix because I enjoy guilt on some sick level.
Leigh says
I bought a package of those brownies when I was in San Fran last year and finally just made them. They are pretty darn tasty!

Everyone I know that has gone to Costa Rica has raved about it. Looks amazing! And I think any vacation with someone you’re in love with is pretty awesome. Since I’ve met my husband, they’ve all been incredible.
Fiona McG says
What is a coatis and where can I get one? Hes super cute- looks like hes trying to hug you!!!
Lauren says
I had to “test” all of my Thanksgiving foods too last night. Damn, I guess that is why people gain weight….it’s the before’s, durings, and afters. Oh well, at least I know it all tasted great!
runeatrepeat says
So true – I think the befores and afters are my biggest downfall.
Happy Thanksgiving <3
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
I “tried” everything as I was making it. Haha. Happy thanksigivng! Looks like you’re having an awesome time 😀
Anna-Marie Walsh says
Have you considered the fact that it IS Thanksgiving and we humans tend to eat turkeys? Perhaps your fuzzy child was hiding in case you couldn’t remember the difference between fur and feathers……….Happy Turkey day!!!
runeatrepeat says
Happy Turkey Day to you too!!
blackhuff says
I love the pictures of your cat underneath the duvet cover – so cute 🙂
Jackie @ That Deep Breath says
Umm…the coati looks pretty harmless walking along, but standing up looks terrifying!! Was it attacking or was it trying to give someone a hug?? Your Costa Rica trip looks amazing. I’d love to visit someday!
runeatrepeat says
He was trying to beg for food. They can be super aggressive because tourists feed them 🙁
