We made a memory tonight!

Let me paint the picture...
It's 4:15. The sun is setting. We bundle up the boys and head towards downtown Avila. It is only .5 miles long. We go to the local coffee shop. Joe Momma's. I ordered a Vanilla Latte and an apricot and almond scone to share with D. The coffee is nutty and delicious. The scone is half price after 3:30, which makes it even more enjoyable. We peruse a cool surf shop. D tries on several pairs of shoes. It is getting darker. We make our Thanksgiving dinner reservation at an upscale restaurant. It has the most wonderful evening ambience. Lots of outdoor torches and firepits. We head towards the pier. We're birds. We run as fast as we can, flapping our arms. Run. Run. Run. We reach the end of the pier to see the remainder of light before it becomes pitch dark. Then, we become birds again. And run towards the shore. We take the boys to the pirate playground. We all become pirates. I'm Wendy. L's Smie. D's Captain Hook. E is E. Home. Oatmeal for dinner. Monday Night Football. Boys down. Candlelit tub. CSI on Hulu. Sleep.

Love it! The only thing I am missing is the temp. Please fill in details so I can feel the weather on my face as I run down the pier with you all.
Love you. It is in the low 60's at night, but the wind makes it feel colder. Today was 72! AMAZING for the Central Coast.
I love this post. It was so great to chat today. I really enjoyed hearing your voice and getting all the details of life.
I am so glad you are having a great time with your boys. Sounds like a lot of fun! Thanksgiving together + beach + upscale restaurant= great holiday weekend.
Love you.
I love you, Becca! Our friendship means SO much to me!!!
