Last week we pulled out of Vegas for our annual trip to the in-laws house. Basically ever since I met Charity we have gone to do Thanksgiving with her family and this year we did the same. There were a few variations to the trip and one big one was that we stopped to see my dad on the way to Santa Maria. We had a great time with my dad and while we were there we took some time to visit the property where my dads house that I basically grew up in. In Oct 2007 my dads house was burned down in a fire so it is weird going there and not seeing his home but my girls loved running around the 10 acres of land that he has!
After that we jumped in the car and heading to Charity's parents house. During the week we did some really cool things like head to Pismo beach where we played on the beach! After taking a good walk on the beach we went over to Splash Cafe and had THE BEST clam chowder in the world! If you go there you need to make sure you order it with the seafood topping on top; you will not regret the choice if you like seafood.
While we were there Sophie and I took up our favorite weekly tradition of going out to get doughnuts. I really love these times of eating doughnuts with Sophie, talking with her and just hanging out. I know there will be a day that she doesn't wake up at 6am and had no desire to get breakfast with me but on Saturday that was not the case. Sophie and I went to a cool little doughnut shop that basically had a bunch of old men sitting around drinking coffee and me and her there. We laughed, ate doughnuts, had chocolate milk and then brought doughnuts holes home.
The entire week was a great break to spend some time with my family, see our extended family and get to laugh with family. Overall I am just so thankful for the family we have, how God has blessed us and how much we get to do!
