As if the children weren’t already convinced that San Diego is going to be a great place to live, Adam sealed the deal on Sunday night. We spent the afternoon soaking up the sun at Coronado Beach and afterwards Adam suggested eating dinner at Extraordinary Desserts. There is “real” food on the menu. But really, why bother?

The best word that I can think of to describe the desserts is intense. Immediately upon walking through the door Paul locked his eyes on a chocolate mousse decorated with yellow flowers. It was gorgeous. We may have just as well hooked Paul up to an IV dripping with caffeine. He barely made it past the second layer of chocolate. Paul showed his gratitude by kissing Adam from head to toe for ten minutes straight.  For real.

Megan’s choice was equally stunning. A warm brownie garnished with champagne grapes. Yum. I ordered a scoop of homemade Very Vanilla Bean Ice Cream served with fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries and Adam had a slice of Roasted Coconut Cream Torte.

We all waddled out with happy bellies.

Update: Upon reading this post Megan just said, “Paul’s was the prettiest. Mine just gave me a tummy ache but Paul’s made him hyper.”
