Some Definitions.

It was Family Day today.
Love.

And it's been awhile since we had ourselves a wee little road trip, so over breakfast we made a plan to go gallivanting.

Did you know that "gallivanting" means: to travel, roam, or move about for pleasure?
I quite love that definition.
And I sure do love me some gallivanting. Especially when it involves food.

So, we decided to take our little selves down along the coast, and with the help of Kaden's map, we drove to my most favorite coffee shop in the whole wide world.

The food is amazing, the coffee is amazing, and for some reason, I really love drinking out of their mugs.

Heaven in a cup, I tell you.

And having no particular plan in mind other than to gallivant down to our favorite coffee shop for lunch, we decided - for the remainder of the day - to traipse around town and see what sorts of goings on were taking place.

Did you know that "traipse: means: to wander, walk, or travel without apparent plan?

Ooh. That's a good one, too.
I especially liked traipsing into this sweet little store whilst Daddy took the hoolies to play at the toy store next door.

Have you ever gone to a place or been somewhere that just totally inspires you and really makes you happy - just by being there and just by drinking in everything all around you? That's what this place is for me. I rarely ever buy anything in this store, but I just love every single thing in it. I especially love all of the little quotes written everywhere on these super sweet old barn boards.

Happiness.
You know what else makes me happy? Watching this little boy play trains whilst wearing his monkey hat. I find him to be most delicious...almost as delicious as my lunch and coffee that I ate at my most favorite coffee shop in the whole wide world. And that's saying a lot.

And finally, we finished the day by meandering thither and yon and taking our time getting back to the real world.

Did you know that "meander" means: to roam, to wander, or to ramble?
Very nice.

I especially enjoyed meandering past the ocean and seeing from a distance my favorite little pier that we like to walk in the summer. It's a sweet little mile long stone walkway that goes out to a little light house right in the middle of the ocean. It's love-o-ly.

You know what else is love-o-ly? Meandering past this delicious little coffee house that roasts their very own beans right on the premesis. (premisis?) If you roll down your windows, you can smell its haunting aroma as you drive by.

Or, you can pull into the driveway and pick up a pound to feed your addiction.
It seems to slip my mind as to which option we chose for ourselves today. Ahem.

Yes.
A day of gallivanting with a little bit of traipsing and meandering thrown in.
Dee-lightful, to be sure.
