Yesterday we were out for a drive. Just driving around. Had no place to go, really. It was the last day of "freedom" for doing such things on a whim because school starts today, you know.... (sigh)
Anyway, back to the drive. We were ALL over Santa Rosa, and the kids were laughing and cracking us up, and Daryle said, "Hey, ya wanna burger?" I thought about it for 2.3 seconds and said, "As a matter of fact, I do!" So he said he knew just the place. I had NO idea there was a Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Santa Rosa!! Apparently they just opened this past February, but anyway, there they were with all their peanuts and burgers and there WE were, hungry and ready to eat them! (David's been talking about this place for months, so I was excited to call and tell him I actually ate there.)
We had a ball. Ate outside in the gorgeous sunshine. Watched the wind blow our napkins away. Listened to our children laugh and shoo at the pigeons. Wasn't anything really special about what we did, but it was one of those moments of deep contentment when you just feel so... GRATEFUL! I looked at my husband, enjoying his Cajun french fries, and I could tell he felt it too. I didn't even say anything, and he nodded at me and said, "I know. It's good."
So after Five Guys, we ended on Cold Stone Creamery, because, why not??!! :) It was a good day.
And now it's Wednesday morning, and in about 5 minutes, the alarm will go off (Yes, obviously I'm already up, since 5:00 am actually.) and all FOUR of my little people will hop out of bed, excited for the adventure that is the first day of school!! Pictures to follow on that later!!
PS I loved Five Guys, but I like In-N-Out better.....
