Happy Thanksgiving!!! (Nov 22)

This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to make a reservation at Seasons 52 - one of our favorite restaurants!  We actually discovered the restaurant in Phoenix and while the boys and I were heading to a mall in Costa Mesa recently, we were so excited when we found a location of Seasons 52 here as well!  The only reservations they had left was at 11:40am so instead of a Thanksgiving dinner, it was a lunch.  All dressed up and waiting to get seated.  Charlie decided to bring his "headgear" from school :-)

Still waiting... and boys are keeping themselves busy:

Who knew Poinsettia leaves are waterproof?!?

Yay for Seasons 52 and Yay for not having to cook! :-D

We get a big table and Graham and Charlie decides to sit next to Daddy:

Charlie orders a fancy drink:

Cheers!

YUMMMMM...!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

There is a piano player in the bar.  How on earth did that piano get in the bar area??!

Happy belly = Happy daddy:

Fancy wine glass:

We super-LOVE the desserts here.  Daddy is obviously not going to get anymore!

4 of us but 5 dessert glasses??? Hmmm...

As there was still plenty of daylight, we decided to drive by to Huntington Beach on the way home:

You think when you've seen one pier, you have seen them all!  But as we arrived, the lifeguard was on the pier.  Looks like an elderly lady had taken a bad fall while walking on the pier:

Pretty neat being able to see the oil rigs out in the ocean:

As usual Graham and Charlie are excited about everything they see:

Somehow Graham is scared of heights??!

Not a bad way to spend Thanksgiving surfing:

Momma selfie :-)

Graham and Charlie want to play on the beach, so Daddy and Mommy find a restaurant.  I think Charlie is trying to take a bite out of the seagull???

Perfect view to watch the boys:

Wait a minute... a dog menu??? No way!

We opt for dessert instead :-)

Typical California scenery with the palm trees.  Somehow, it reminds me of a slight chill in the air that day:

There are some street sales going on.  Graham and I try out a wetsuit.  We probably spent 5 minutes trying to put one on:

Phew!!! Now that it's on... it's another 5 minutes to get it off! Graham and I can't stop laughing too. HAHA!

Walking back to the car and we spot this huge surfboard:

I was trying to take a photo of some houses and their boats in their backyard. Obviously there was a delay in the shot.  You can sort of see the little boat to the right of the photo. You should have seen the big boats!

Almost sunset and you can see the San Pedro harbor in the horizon:

As if we haven't had enough to eat, we decided to stop and get pie and corn bread :-)

Graham doesn't like pumpkin pie (except for Mommy's pumpkin cheesecake pie!) but we know who does!

This might be a new tradition for us.  I love not having to cook and clean up - that's for sure!
