meeting the canadians
tomorrow, i travel to the exalted destination of myrtle beach with my mom and stepfather to meet my mom's cousins from nova scotia and from tenessee.
i've never met these folks, so it's kind of exciting.
but why the heck are we going to myrtle beach in march?
well, the story is that my great aunt dede, my maternal grandmother's sister, is the matriarch of the canadian branch of the family, and she would go to myrtle beach every year in march. to her, this weather was warm, and she would apparently swim in the ocean while there. it was her summer vacation!
now, my memory of myrtle beach is that it's pretty much a hellhole. but we're staying where dede used to stay, and from the web site it looks pretty nice. and it should be fun to hang with the fam.
so anyway. that's what's going on for the next few days.
