So much for a live report! I gave it the old college try, but three kids in one hotel room for a week in Atlanta interferes with your free time. On to France...
Gelato or pastries? Tough decision! I wanted to check out the new gelato shop, and I told Audrey she could have two scoops as long as she promised to share. She chose hazelnut and espresso. Excellent combination!
decisions, decisions
We then found a seat in the bakery. Finding a seat was impressive: in the past, the old bakery was so small that it was almost impossible to get an inside seat, so the expansion was an improvement. I used to get something called a pthithers (probably-no, definitely-spelled incorrectly), but the didn't have it. It was made with almonds and almond paste, but I managed to find something similar. It was good but not quite the same. Sparky got some chocolate chip bread roll thing (certainly has a nice fancy name, but I forgot it), and a sandwich. Then we got another thing. And another. Hey, we were sharing...
Here's our first round:
Almond pastry, chocolate chip bread, and sandwich
After this little pig out, Rusty went back to the hotel and we shopped a bit until we were absolutely melting. We sought the cool darkness of the Mexico pavillion and took our traditional sombrero picture (I try not to think about how many people do the same: how many heads have those sombreros been on?).
We then took the boat ride, and G was getting monsterous. I took the kids into the baby care center for a nice extended AC break. I met two other moms in there, and we all discussed how darn hot it was, how old our babies were, and what they liked to eat. Again, I love chatting with new people at WDW!
Dinner date and insider info are up next!
