Back to Ventura

We headed to our favorite coastal spot Saturday to see the sea, eat fish at Andria's and to check out the wood flooring options at Lumber Liquidators, a factory-direct warehouse. Cora enjoyed the fish, and she especially liked the rice pilaf. Rice is one of her favorite foods currently, and it's a word she can say well. (Other words she likes to say at the moment include "sit down" and "outside.") She also enjoyed riding in her car and pointing out the boats, another word Stace taught her to say. Later on, she insisted on pushing the car herself, and wouldn't get back in until Stace promised to push her really fast.

The Lumber Liquidators showroom had a mind-numbing number of options on display, all beautiful. We've picked out one we think will be a great choice for the bedrooms in our new house. The house has brown ceramic tile throughout the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallways, and horrible carpeting in the three bedrooms. We're looking for a wood or wood-like floor for the bedrooms that is light in color (the rooms are fairly small) with dark grain tones mixed in, so it looks OK next to the dark hallway tile.
Our mortgage on the new house funded Friday, so we should be set to close escrow and get the keys Monday! We are so blessed and thankful!
