Here's the deal.

You spend Thursday with people who endowed you with life and all of that.

Friday, you take full advantage of what, in all respects, looks like a three-day weekend by staying on the beach.

Deal.

You'll be at Inn at the Pier, a nice new hotel practically sitting right on the sand, now open in Pismo Beach. Check it out.

Summer in November. This is possible. Especially with a large and majorly charming, beach cottage-style building like this pressed against the oceanfront, just a short amble or bike cruise from the pier and boardwalk.

While you're there, consider...

The Superior Ocean View King Suite: Like all rooms, it comes with an Amazon Alexa to do your bidding while you watch a giant TV. Plus the best views, a fancy Italian espresso machine in the kitchenette and ocean-view balconies off the bedroom and living room. Maybe don't even consider not considering this.

Blonde: It's the second studio album by Frank Ocean. And also a breezy restaurant where you'll sit outside for grass-fed burgers, local clam chowder and a Midnight Smoke with bourbon, chipotle simple syrup, black walnut bitters and a coffee ice-cube.

The Rooftop: This is where you'll emerge from the heated pool, gaze at a large chunk of the Pacific Ocean and then say something profound. Right before strolling over to Pismo's only rooftop bar for another local beer.

The profound thing is just a suggestion.
