it just doesn't get better...

We went to Coronado for Thanksgiving and it was glorious.  We rested, played cards, went on adventures, celebrated my Dad's birthday, laughed, ate and walked on the beach.

Walking along the beach each morning, collecting shells, watching the sun come up, the birds, the seals and even a few dolphins was paradise.  You people who live by the water are very lucky. 

I love my warm desert sun (except in summer) and I'm not ready to leave Phoenix but there is just something about the water isn't there?

Here is our little trip in a nutshell...

The cuteness factor was pretty high, frolicking Pandas - seriously.

the light in this old church was gorgeous and the stations of the cross paintings were done by DeGrazia...

I have no photos of the Thanksgiving buffet (mom put one in the post yesterday) but I can tell you it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. every. single. mouthful.  I'm full of regret that I didn't stuff myself more or bring a purse to smuggle some out.  We did some good eatin' on this trip my friends...

That kiwi lemonade was sublime.  The best part? 

The company of course.  She'll be home in 2 weeks so it wasn't as hard to say goodbye this time.

I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time as well.

Our four lovely women start our week off.
Let's have a great one!

Side note:  I find it interesting, these gals have no idea what photos the others are sending me.  Last week we had two beach images and this week - 2 wildlife photos!  I know my mother took her photo out her FRONT DOOR, these fellas come almost every morning for their "breakfast".  I'm assuming the daughter took hers in someone else's front yard - though she is a pretty big animal lover so you never know!
