Tiki and Disney go hand in hand.

WARNING! Go to the bathroom before reading this post - it's a long one!!

Last Saturday, my friends from Florida as well as my sister and brother-in-law decided to get in touch with our inner Tiki and met for dinner at Bahooka. This place is so cool. I have to say that the food was nothing special - adequate at best but that's not why you go to Bahooka.
You go there to be totally immersed in the Tiki experience.

I will apologize ahead of time for the quality of some of these photos but I included them so that you could get an idea of how great this place is.



There are aquariums EVERYWHERE and that really adds to the atmosphere.



As we were being led to our table (which was in a jail cell) we walked by Captain Jack!


Here is a shot of the menu.








My pulled pork sandwich.


I know somebody out there didn't go to the bathroom like they were supposed to!
You better go now.

I love what they did with these antique gas pumps! I think there were four of five of them.







There are several celebrity photos on the walls...





They have a large fish named Rufus, who is currently 34 years old!
Here is a video I found on YouTube, taken a few years ago.

After dinner, we went to the Grand Californian where my friends were staying and I decided to take a few shots from the balcony.









Boy, that was a long one! Hope you all enjoyed it.

How fun was this. We had a couple of dates at the Bahooka, but that was 40 years ago, and I don't think the food was much better then. It was always a fun night. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I used to drive by this place 5 days and always wanted to stop and go in. Now after your report, I think I have to go (to Bahooka.....not the bathroom!)

Disneyland Trash Cans

Image
Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted ...

Getting back into the swing of things...

It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee

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...
