Downtown Disney & The World's Best Crepe (Part 4 of our Good Grade Trip)

After leaving Ports O Call, since we were in the area, we decided to make a stop at Downtown Disney. The kids are still on a Disney high after our trip to Disneyland last month. Plus our cousin Yvette was working at the Crepe and Funnel Cake stand.

We wandered the shops and Lou's headed exploded with all the "PWINCESS!!!!" stuff everywhere.

We found Yvette, (or Abby's sister as Lou calls her) working hard!

Then she handed us this and she became my favorite cousin-in-law.
A banana split crepe (with no nuts!) A banana with chocolate syrup wrapped in a warm crepe. Topped with whipped cream. A scoop of vanilla, of strawberry and chocolate on the side. Then the whole thing is drizzled with chocolate and strawberry sauce. AMAZING! I made a lot of bad food choices this day.

This was a great way to end our Good Grade trip. I hope that The Phi continues to be a good student so that we can have these kind of trips.

We are so proud of you The Phi. We hope that we gave you a fun day that made all your hard work throughout the school year worth it!

Ports O Call (good grade trip part 3)

After a lunch we realized that by hopping on the freeway would land us in the middle of traffic. So we decided to kill some time and stopped off at Ports O Call (or is it Ports of Call?). A little strip of shops and restaurants along the water and across from the Long Beach Port.

My babies. When I asked them to pose The Phi said "I knew you were going to make us take a picture here!" 

It is a bit of a run down place, but still pretty interesting to check out. We stopped at a jewelry place and learned all about puzzle rings and even stopped for some ice cream.

Joey had been here before as a kid with his Grandparents. He told us how he Grandma use to have a favorite clothes place and about a hat shop where his Grandpa would buy his Grecian Sailor hats.

It was a great place to spent an hour or so. It was some place I had never been and I love exploring new places. I would love to go back and eat there.

The Phi would not like to eat there.

I swear The Phi has been more places in her 7 years than I had been in my first 25!

And believe it or not this was not the end of our big day.

One more stop......

Come back Monday for Part 4 of our Good Grades Trip!
