One of those rare moments in life where there is soft-serve and a shoulder to lean on... Happiness all around.

Patrick's business trip to San Diego; my sad excuse to ditch my responsibilities as stay-at-home-mom, throw caution to the wind, give my treadmill a rest and actually run outside around a body of water, catch up on what I swore I'd never watch (a show aptly titled Get Out on the HDNET) while lunching on pistachios and a beer at 12 pacific time, of course. Sorry kids, we did hang out with a fleet of seals and a bejeweled gator. Yes, at one point, your mom and dad did some strange adventuresome things.
