Tom Sawyer's Island Part Zero

Part Zero??? hee hee hee...I took over 200 photos today! We'll take our journey nice and slow so I don't bombard you with all the pictures at once! I spent 3 hours at the Park today, most of it on the island! Shall we begin?

As you can see, I could not resist taking pictures as soon as I got in the Park so the reason this post is Part Zero is because it deals with things I saw on my way to the island. Here  I am, on my first day of "retirement"!



Lot's of stuff happening on Main Street!



I've been meaning to stop and look at this beauty ever since Davelandweb did a feature on it several months ago! Today, I finally remember to stop by.



As you can see, it wasn't very crowded!


I thought this display in the candy shop was adorable.



Tomorrow we start our island exploration!

Excellent post. Looking forward to reaching the island.

Wonderful peek into the 'Penney Arcade'. Yes, there was life before that once two story monstrosity over at Space Mt. hehehehe

The construction in the fourth picture from the top makes it look like they're getting ready for a runway show down the middle of Main St.!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

MLB Food Fest

The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt
