Whirlwind

It was a whirlwind 3 days but I think we checked all the boxes on Addy’s California wishlist. 

Addy and Leia (almost) may be teenagers, but they still love their stuffies

so first up was a visit to the Disney Outlet store, 

and the Japanese dollar store (Daisco? What a treasure trove!)

We lunched at the harbor

and strolled along the promenade 

and Ventura Pier.

We had French fries from In-n-Out, pizza from Toppers and bread pudding from Boadcious BBQ.

Addy learned to make my our favorite focaccia bread,

how to separate eggs (“This feels disgusting. But it’s a good disgusting.”)

and beat them stiff enough to make angel food cake to go with our field-fresh strawberries. 

Jac and Donovan are going to be super disappointed tomorrow to find Addy’s gone. We’re all going to be counting the weeks until she comes back in December for Disneyland!
