Father's Day

This Father's Day I took hubs and kiddo to Afternoon Tea at The Huntington Langham Hotel. As it was Sunday, it was a chocolate tea. I was thinking where could I go where Daddy and Penny could both eat and of course, we all know little girl's love chocolate so hence the tea. Putting on our Sunday best we drove to the hotel after swim class and we have fun walking around the hotel and the lovely grounds. We were seated at a little table for three right by a big tower of chocolate. I could see immediately that Penny wanted to run her fingers through the tall tower of oozing chocolate but decorum prevailed. We immediately went to the chocolate bar and ate all kinds of sweets. We partook in chocolate flavored tea and we ate a ton forgetting that we also had a platter of sandwiches and scones coming so suffice to say, by the time we were done eating we were completely full. Good thing they have such lovely grounds to look at so we could wear some of the calories off. Afterward we went to Pirate Park so Penny could run around before we dropped Daddy off at iPic Theatres aka a fancy theatre where you can lounge with pillows and blankets in a reclinable chair for a screening of Entourage. Penny and I tried to keep ourselves busy in Old Town but Penny was restless and she got hungry so taking a chance we walked to the theatre and asked if there was a lounge to wait in for the remainder of the time. Luckily there was a super fancy lounge with food and drink that we could wait in without a ticket and no one but another couple with a baby was there. So Penny had the place to herself so she could run around and they just so happened to have cheese pizza. She soon discovered the baby and it wasn't long before I was engaged in conversation with those parents. Penny kept the baby entertained and tried to feed her pizza. Actually, I will have to remember that place if I ever need a place to go to relax while shopping in Old Town. After the movie let out we took Daddy to the Pie Hole for some pie. Ever since Penny was born we have always done pie (though previously at The House of Pies) so I thought this was a good way to keep the tradition but spice it up a bit. We gave Daddy his last present which was a Groupon to a running store to get some running shoes as he wants to run a 10K in October.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
