We drove across town to a place called The Squatch, where we had a breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, and avocado toast. The toast was probably the best of them. None of it was bad, but none of it was great either. It was a cute place though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterward, we made our way back to the hotel and I ran around with Muad&#8217;Dib a bit. Evidently there was some kind of a footrace going on across the street, because we saw a few runners and could hear the commotion. We eventually got everyone out to go downtown and walk around, dropping the Model 3 off to charge at the top of the hill before taking Eli&#8217;s truck to park down the hill. I mostly stayed out of the shops with Muad&#8217;Dib, but it was really nice outside. As lunchtime approached, we ended up eating at New Delhi Cafe where they had a fusion of Indian and American. Eli and I split a burger and a curry chicken wrap. Eaddie had some butter chicken, and Summer had a huge fillet of fried fish and chips. Everything was really good, but I think the fish was probably my favorite bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We made it back for the afternoon show, which was much better than the last. We all had a good time before going back to the room to rest a bit. I ran around with Muad&#8217;Dib some more, and the others spent some time at the clubhouse playing mini golf and pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dinner time eventually came around and the four of us met my parents, Uncle Rick, and Ginny at Red&#8217;s Pizzeria. Their four-generation sourdough pizza crust was great, and then we picked up my car on the way back for the evening show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone had a great time, but even Muad&#8217;Dib was exhausted by the end of it. We made it back to the room and started settling down for bed. Of course the <em>Harry Potter<\/em> marathon was finishing up, so I had trouble as my eyes kept wandering over to the TV, but I finally got to bed after midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>fifteen<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer and I got out for breakfast alone this morning because the kids didn&#8217;t want to get up.
