Lizzy's Date with Mom







Whenever my California parents visit us in Florida, they try to take each of the oldest three out for some one-on-one time. Since this was MY vacation, I decided I wanted to do the same! It is not often that I get one-on-one time with my kids-except for occasional trips to Publix or WalMart! I planned one date per week while we were here to spread out the cost, and generally planned to spend $40 on each. Lizzy picked a date to the local tea room called Tea Eras (cute name!) We left early and wandered around Sutter Creek first and I hadn't told her, but when she found something she liked I knew I would buy it for her. At a little old-timey toy shop there were dozens of kinds of tin lunch boxes. She found one in Disney Princess with a beaded handle that looks more like a purse-but she says it really is for her lunch on days we are out! Next we went to the tea room where we had Peppermint tea with lots of sugar cubes, scones with Devonshire cream, sandwiches and dessert. The main thing she wanted was a chocolate brownie and I had a lemon bar! It was a sweet time with my little Bean.
