Meanwhile, Charlie and I had some plans of our own. First we went to dine at the "Golden Eagle." I had tenderloin tips with mushrooms, dipped in a delicious mario sauce, and sided with rice and grapes. Charlie had shrimp and steak. We both LOVED our meals. Then, we went out to see "Slumdog Millionaire." It was a must see movie, that I would recommend to anyone else.
We decided to have breakfast brought up to us in our room. I was so delighted, that I forgot to take a photo until we were basically done eating. lol. There was a basket of about 5 pastries, hot cocoa, a plate of fresh fruit, bacon, and cranberry sauce. Charlie ate some hot oatmeal, with sides of raisons, brown sugar, and hot milk. He also had orange juice, and a side of sausage. It was delicious. Our server, Sarah, was very sweet.
Then we headed downtown for some shopping. First we stopped at "Bags and beads." They were having a clearance, plus a bogo free sale. It was great! I got a bag, and a flower bracelet. The wind was whipping around about this time, and it was very cold. But, we decided to walk down to the "Give Thanks Bakery & Cafe." They make bread from scratch, using old French techniques. Delicious. I got a cuppachino, and then bought two loaves of bread that we are still enjoying now. Asagio/Garlic, and French Sourdough. YUMMO!
Then we went to "Papa Joes." It's a huge gourmet grocery store. I treated myself to a wine, cheese, and lemon curd binge....to enjoy at home. Daddy got some meats, and a cookie, salted pecans, and some oranges and plums. Then I got a lunch "tide over" of marsala beef mushroom soup. Rich and thick, and delicious.
Then it was back to Julie's house to see our little boy again.
We really enjoyed ourselves.
