oceanside recap - miscellaneous - 2013

We went down to Ruby's Diner on the Pier to celebrate Aaron's birthday.

Rebekah was having a meltdown before we left because I wouldn't let her wear her Sunday dress. "But MOooooom! It's a fancy place, I want to wear my fancy dressssss!"

Once we got there and were seated she proved her theory by pointing to the red carnation on each table, "See mom! I told you this was a fancy place!"

It's tradition, we must buy their penny gumballs each year.

(Even if they have less than a penny's worth of flavor in them.....)

Thanksgiving!

Rain dotted sand.

Attempting to teach yourself to surf is exhaustiiiiiiiiing.

One last look out before the long drive home.
