Oh, we'll talk turkey.
It was a Thanksgiving for the ages, with nieces and friends from far and away. Well from Phoenix. And LA. We had ourselves a big ol time, I tell you what. I took
some... well, three photos but then delegated the role of historian because 1) my phone was being weird and 2) I found new photo settings that made for very psychodelic images and 3) I was too
drunk lazy busy cooking and hosting and making merry. I am certain that photos were taken, and I implore my houseguests to send them along so we can properly document the Fun Time.
While we wait, though, let's not forget that there was a whole adventure that took place in the vacation days leading up to Thanksgiving! Remember? We went to San Elijo!
 |
| ahhhh, San Elijo |
It was absurdly beautiful, as per usual.
We had gorgeous, summer like weather and a really good dose of family time in our awesome yet oddly structured campsite.
 |
| Here are the things I love in this photo, in no particular order: the boy, the scooter, the girl, the westy, the bikes, the surfboard, the trees, the slippers. |
|
 |
| We can all fit in the Westy, but it's tight, and someone snores. |
 |
| Some of those someones slept in the tent. |
We were just there for two nights, which is short but pretty much perfect when you've got a bird at home waiting to be brined. My girl took a surfing lesson in waves can best be described as pancake flat, but that's another post for another day.
Today in a stunning display of duplicity, I want to share the route taken by my children for the traditional last day voyage to notorious VG bakery. Remember
this funny scene?
It inspired. And with a convenient tree placed just so...
My boy popped right up and over, then stood impatiently telling my girl to hurry.
 |
| She didn't care for the tree idea |
 |
| ummmmm |
 |
| Oy, the face. |
 |
| She went back to the part where the top was less pointy. |
 |
| Aw, look how he helps. |
She finally made it.
 |
| Wait, take your camera for obligatory donut porn! |
 |
| Wait, let me get a picture of you on the other side! |
 |
| Waaaaaaiiiiiiiiiittttttt |
 |
| Wait, where'd they go? |
 |
| Well, Moki, according to your big sister's photo tour, first they walked by the fabled Cardiff Kook |
 |
| Then they approached the Muthaland with the expectation of instant gratification after their long, arduous journey. |
|
 |
| Oh dear. |

VG's! The Quest! Revisited!
They're so gigantic and big and tall and old now, those kids of yours. San Elijo is so spectacularly gorgeous -- how I miss that place.
Looks like a fabulous getaway, for man and woman and beast. And skinny-jeaned teenagers.

Ah, fencing! It's truly becoming a family sport. And yes, your girl's face? I can see her thoughts with that look!
You did get some perfect weather. Man, have we had a spectacular fall. Lucky, lucky!
I'm getting up there next time you guys hit San E. Inviation or not.
Can't wait to see the Fun Time!
