Date day with Thomas!!! First stop … FOOD … YUM!
Second stop on the Camilla n Thomas date day! Was just going to return books but Mr. T wanted this to be stop number 2! Okay with me! I love this place!
Next stop on the Camilla n Thomas date day … Window shopping. He loves looking at Legos! He asks, “What’s this?” …. That’s a pay phone honey. “What’s it for?”

Thomas and Camilla August 2021 Date Day
First: A walk before the smoke moves back over us. You can see it in the photos(looks hazy in the distance).
Next: Lunch at the all vegan, House of Mexica. For me: Nohpalli (prickly pear cactus) tacos with cilantro, grilled onions, and house salsa. For Thomas: Spicy Chick’n Sandwich. And we shared an order of Buffalo Fries. 😋😋😋 I don’t think I’ve ever had nohpalli. It was fabulous, tasting much like peppers.

Thomas and Camilla July 2021 Date Day
Wild Island. Thomas hasn’t been in about 3 or 4 years. I went down the Tortuga slide with him, we went two rounds in the Bahama Mama River, and two times in the wave pool. Thomas also went down the more adventures slides. It was fun, and Thomas had a great time! But I’m good for 4 or 5 years now. 😂🤣 Too peoply. 🤣😵💫😂 … Plus a heart shaped rock from a walk earlier this week.

Lillian and Camilla July 2021 Date Day
Lillian has never been a fan of traditional pizza. I’ve always made her pizza using a slice of gluten free bread. She does not like sauce. So it’s usually just cheese, olives, pepperoni and salami.
Today she wanted Blaze Pizza, as you can build your own, and they have gluten-free crusts. Still no sauce, but she was adventurous with all the toppings she chose. I cannot believe she ate this pizza! Go Lillian. They have vegan options, too. So I was able to get one for me to have for dinner. 😋😋😋
After pizza we stopped for choosing a macaroon for dessert. Then to window shop in a couple of stores. Lillian really liked the “it’s ok” sticker.

The Lillian and Camilla June 2021 Date Day happened last night at 9:00pm.
Drove to Inn n Out to get fries for Lillian. Then to the closed library to return books, and sit in their parking lot while Lillian ate her fries. 😳 Then home for a short walk.
The strangest date we’ve ever had, and …. Gurl!!! I don’t want to do that kind of date again. That’s too close to my bedtime!

Thomas and Camilla June 2021 Date Day – Part 1
Thomas wanted to hike to the “D” like we did when he was younger, about 9 or 10 years ago. Still beautiful. Still a work out. 😥
It’s pretty sad as houses have been built nearly to the “D”, with more to come. The wild horses are losing their space. Also, I think we may have been trespassing. Oops!
Part 2 and 2.1
Lunch of sushi for Thomas with a Larabar for me as this restaurant does not serve vegan dishes. 🥲
Then to Maya’s for me. Sambar Vada and Plain Dosa. My stomach is happy and satisfied every time I eat here. The owners are so I incredibly friendly, too. I’m making my way through the menu. 😋😋😋 I absolutely loved what I had today. Uradh dhal fritters in sambar, and the thin rice and urad dhal lentil crepes are my spirit foods.

Lillian and Camilla May 2021 Date Day
It was a momentous date day. First time for Lillian to go inside of anyplace in just over a year. She was excited. Clothes shopping for our first stop.
Part 2 through I lost count, as we made so many stops, I’m delirious.
Fries and lemonade at Noble Pie Parlor. Then to pick up dessert. Watermelon macaroon for Lillian, ginger rose dark chocolate for me.
Barnes & Noble, Michaels, and stopping to gaze at the full moon on the way home. (Psst …. I do not like shopping. Drains every inch of energy out of me. I shall crawl into bed, and pass out shortly.)
