Lillian and Camilla August 2016 half-date … Went to pick up dessert, then to get her a new pair of sunglasses since hers broke last week. Then we enjoyed our dessert in the moonlight at the lodge.
And ended our date with a starlit walk by the lake. Too dark for pictures. Lillian wanted to visit one of our regular parks for a date day walk but it got dark before we were ready. So, we will do that next week.
Here’s to going on 15 years of date days, once a month, with this beautiful one!

Thomas and Camilla July (a little late) 2016 Date – After dinner we headed to Icecyle Creamery for dessert. Then to Audrey Harris Park to enjoy our ice cream while taking in the view and listening to Frank Sinatra and the like.
Next we walked the loop down to Bartley Ranch and back up. And for the drive home, chatting and more Sinatra and Flying to the Moon. So incredibly awesome. Thomas commented as we were nearing the end of the loop … “I wish this would never end … ” And so it is …
Yes! Thank you, and I’ll have more please! We get to choose, we get to choose it all in this life of ours ….. And we took that first step yesterday!! Wahooo!!!! xoxoxo

Thomas and Camilla September 2016 Date Day … a wee bit late! An after dinner walk in our favorite place (Damonte Ranch Park) and then dessert.
We experienced THE MOST amazing banana split I’ve ever tasted at SouthCreek Pizza. Banana, two scoops chocolate gelato, one scoop vanilla bean gelato, topped with Mike’s Hot Honey.
I absolutely loved the spiciness in the honey combined with all the sweet. Thomas kinda liked it. He licked the bowl. Now we must go back and try one of their pizzas!!! Yum!!

Thomas and Camilla August 2016 date day …. (Our date day got postponed by a few days as Thomas was sick!)
Little Washoe Lake …. “Would anyone believe that playing with sticks and walking and splashing in the water would be so fun?” -Thomas. This was an impromptu stop as we drove right by on our way home from Carson City. And it was Thomas’ idea …. Kinda. As I had just thought, we should stop by the lake. Hmmm.
The wind was blowing like crazy and I accidentally took the first two pictures of the sky! My phone takes random pictures as this case doesn’t quite fit it properly. They turned out awesome!
Thomas told me he was having so much fun and was so happy we stopped. I sat in the sand and watched him a while and then he asked me to join him. And I did. Took off my shoes and walked and splashed with him.
Cost of this date = $0 / Value = Priceless xoxo
August 10 2016:
July’s date day was delayed due to our travels to and from the 2016 Chromosome 18 Conference. So we did something different for this date day.
After dinner Lillian and I headed to Whole Foods to pick out a cookie from the “Cookie Bar” … cheapest dessert ever …. and made with real food ingredients!
Next up we took our cookies to Audrey Harris Park so we could eat with a lovely view. When we got there, we saw the park was closed due to an event down below at the Bartley Ranch stage. We decided to go for a walk around Bartley Ranch and have our dessert later.
We enjoyed a wonderful time looking at the old equipment and buildings, trees, sky, and sunset. After our walk we enjoyed a slow, quiet, and peaceful drive the long way back to our end of town. I just love this drive of taking in all the farms and older houses and simply how peaceful it seems.
Next up was to head to Geiger Way Lookout to enjoy those cookies with a view. It was dark by the time we arrived so the pictures our fuzzy, yet they capture some of the beautiful essence. So incredibly wonderful.
And, last we enjoyed another slow and peaceful drive back home. I’d rank this one up there with one of our most beautiful date days. Simple and wonderful. xoxo
Blessings,
Thomas, Lillian and Camilla = Team TLC
