After we left Woody and Jessie I was feeling really happy. I had accomplished part of what I had set out to do, and I had a the happy glow of success. We walked slowly up the walk way and sat on a bench across from Ariel's Grotto and debated whether we really wanted to eat at Wine Country Trattoria. We had not kept our reservations for the Celebration Bbq the day before and honestly decided it was getting pretty windy so we were not thrilled to pay that much for dinner and possibly not see WoC. At that point we decided that we were not going to see it. That decided we went on our merry way again.
Dina had never been to the Wharf area on any of her other trips so we were off to visit the Mission Tortilla Factory and the Boudin Sour Dough Bread Factory. We enjoyed our fresh corn tortillas and then we enjoyed our sour dough sample too. I had to laugh because Dina was telling be that she had gone to a sour dough tasting room where she paid $3 to do it and she was in there so long tasting it she figured that they were gonna send her packing.
I was really surprised that neither of us had brought any home or at least back to the room.
From there we went to the Blue Sky Cellar to check out the coming attractions. What a great place. I love to see the coming attractions. And I am excited for the changes. I think that all change is good, I am not a purist shame on me. Although I am still ticked that my beloved letters are gone. Shame on them!! But, alas they are not in the final scheme. I am sad to see the Golden Gate Bridge leave but I got one last chance to see it. Which is really kind of funny as I live 45 miles from the original and I can pretty much want to see it myself.
I cannot explain it.
From there we had to do something wanted to do, it only seemed fair since we had been doing grown up things and he was tired of riding in the backpack. Mind you his head and arms hang out I still made him ride in the back pack a lot. We headed to see It's Tough To Be A Bug. Duffy was really excited.
And he looks really cute in his glasses.
After we finished we decided that it was getting a little chilly so we headed towards our favorite watering hole. The Uva Bar. Now I guess we were memorable because the bartenders recognized us and wanted to know what we wanted to try that night. Now I am not sure whether to be complimented or not.
We had a drink called Funky Monkey.
This wonderful concoction is Creme De Banana Liqueur, Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, Bois Butterscotch Liqueur, and whipped cream. It was really good, I could have sat there all night and drank them until Duffy carried me back to the room but he had an outfit he wanted to try on. He was finally going to be wearing some clothes. And he was one excited bear. So we needed to decide where we were going to pick up dinner and we decided that we would have Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express again. I wasn't a fan of their fries so I decided to try their coleslaw and it sucked. I am sorry but it was awful, stay away from it. But the highlight was we had beignets for dessert, yummy. They make the best.
Soon we were on our way to the room to eat and for a certain bear to finally get dressed. But he had to wait until after dinner.
Bored bear.
Headboard for him too. He loves the fireworks and the tinny sounding music.
But now it was time to play dress up. He only had one of his outfits to try out because his other was being brought over from the park by the sweet CMs.
Here he is in his lumberjack outfit that I had to get him because the hat reminded me of a hat my DD has. I guess I was missing home. Not that they didn't text me all day and I didn't text them all day.
Funny story, on Tuesday morning Loren sent me a text asking me how to make the oatmeal he makes for himself every morning. He wanted to make sure that I knew he still needed me so that I would come home. As if anything could have kept me away.
And so another day ends. Coming up next a crazy Disneyland day!! But I think that may wait until tomorrow.
