Shopping At the Marketplace

We started our day shopping at the Build-A-Bear in the marketplace.

They have some items exclusive to Knott's.

We then looked in the other gift shops. We found an old friend.

I guess our old friend Sasquatch is all over the place.

I was happy to visit this old bear. A great reunion.

This is Belle who is Snoopy's sister.

And one of my best buddies, Charlie Brown. We may be related - we share a last name!

All of that shopping made us hungry. So where do we eat when we are there?

Knott's! More chicken!

Starting with the salad, of course.

Will we be able to eat the pie this time?

We had to walk off all the morsels of our big lunch. That took us to the bakery.

We also had to stop in the candy store, Of course!

They have a lot of boysenberry flavored treats!

And of course my all-time favorite: lollipops!

I love candy.

I got back to the hotel and met all of my new friends from Build-A-Bear.

I bought a chocolate bar and a lollipop cover with ring. I love it! Do they have these at Great America?

 It was a productive morning and early afternoon. So I had to nap because I had a big evening planned.

A Good Start

Before heading out for the day, Mr Duffy and I had some fruit and muffins.

A great thing about being in California is the access to all of the fresh fruits.

Coffee down, now it is time to shop!

 

Boysenberry Pie

 Full of chicken and soup and salad and corn and mashed potatoes, Mr Duffy and I were stuffed. We settled in to our room, unpacked, and digested.

We put on the television and found that Three's Company was playing. It is a classic (very old) show that is hilarious. One of the comedic greats of his time, John Ritter, was the star. One of the great gags of the show is that his charaster, Jack Tripper, is always falling, crashing, or otherwise in some kind of comedic physical danger. Is that why his last name is Tripper?

Our fried chicken made its way to make room for pie. PIE! Pie time!

You can only get real boysenberry pie like this at Knott's.

Lucky for me, Mr Duffy doesn't have a raging sweet tooth. He tasted the crust and a smidge of fruit, then left the rest for me. He's a keeper.

Good thing we are here until Sunday, I must get all the boysenberry things! And I will do my best to not pull an Eric Cartman while I am here.
