a great ending

Today we trekked into Brentwood to visit Uncle Scott at the new restaurant he's a manager at.

Tavern is nothing less than stunning inside. Not exactly kid-friendly, we made sure to go before the lunch rush (which we saw some of as we were leaving -- a lot of power lunchers and folks-of-leisure, or at least people who look like their shoes cost about as much as my first car).


Uncle Scott treated us well -- of course. Katie had her first chocolate croissant.

One of her favorite books is This is Paris. She always talks about going there. We told her that this was a french restaurant and that croissants were regular fare there.

Like she needed prodding to eat something chocolate.
After we ate Uncle Scott took us over to the larder (fancy French name for bakery) and put together a bag of yummy things for us to take home with us.

When we got home we found cookies, tarts, a salad, a cupcake and some sandwiches in the bag.

Later in the day, we headed to Mondos with our goodies and while Papa and Mama ate, the kids played in the sand.

It's been a bit on the cold side and overcast for what seems like weeks, so we didn't bring our bathing suits -- which was a mistake because the weather was simply gorgeous.

So, we hiked Katie's skirt up and stripped Maddie down and played in the water.

What a great way to end the holiday weekend...
