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.

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.

September 6 2016:
Thomas and Camilla August 2016 date day …. (Our date day got postponed by a few days as Thomas was sick!)
Ended the date with enjoying cookies after dinner. And then a starlit walk.
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.
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 ….

Thomas Darnell and Camilla April 2021 Date Day
First stop: Aladdin’s Market & Kitchen for lunch. Falafel plate for me, beef shawarma for Thomas, with tabouli and fries. We had fun walking the aisles looking through all the goodness. Decided on these Mastic Turkish Delights for dessert. Yum.
Second and last stop: A second dessert of a frozen hot chocolate for Thomas, vegan Granita for me. 😋😋😋
Then a walk in a favorite spot, our old stomping grounds. The white goose is still there, and we spotted cute goslings, and a few tadpoles.

Thomas and Camilla February 2021 Date Day
Maya’s South Indian Cuisine – Avial for me, Chicken Chettinad for Thomas.
Next, picking up my cake for tomorrow – Vegan Chocolate Mousse Cake 😋😛😋 Thomas secured the precious cargo in the backseat. 🤣🤪😂
Followed by Yogurt Beach for dessert. Mango sorbet for me, and I have no idea for Thomas, it was a mixture of 3 different flavors.
Ending with a walk we’ve not taken for quite a while. Lots of memories along this trail, too.

Thomas and Camilla November 2020 Date Day
Lunch from Ike’s Love & Sandwiches: “Meatball” sandwich for me, Jaymee Sirewich for Thomas, with fries for both of us. Followed by a Cocomel Sea Salt caramel for dessert. 😋😋😋
After lunch we drove to where Scripts Wildlife Preserve and Washoe Lake meet for a brutal wind whipped walk. Our wind does not mess around! After our crazy walk, we drove around the lake, always so peaceful. 💨💨💨

Thomas and Camilla October 2020 Date Day
First: House of Mexica for lunch. I absolutely love this place!! They are an all vegan restaurant and have a huge menu.
I had 3 Hibiscus tacos with a side of asada fries that we both shared. Washed down with Jaimaca. Everything was perfection!!! Who knew dried hibiscus flowers mimicked shredded meat when sautéed? 😋😋😋
Thomas had the bacon lord burger, washed down with Horchata.
Second stop: A walk around Bartley Ranch
