Weekend Getaway

Duffy and I went to Carmel for the weekend. We stopped at the Jelly Belly store on the way so we could buy some jelly beans.

Before we went to our hotel, we stopped at a shopping center called Crossroads. This was a mural on one of the walls.

There were nice flowers all over the property, all blooming in the sunshine.

This pelican was in front of one of the restaurants.

We found some yummy treats on our bed. Cinnamon gummy bears, smoked almonds, and dairy free chocolate bars. We were in Carmel for four days.

Over the last few days, I have been spending time indoors because it's been rainy and gloomy. I've been knitting, web surfing, reading, and maintaining things around my den.

Tasty Beverages

Some months back while shopping, I found a new brand of almond milk from a place called Califia Farms. I am lactose intolerant (is that common for bears?) so whenever I find soy, almond, or coconut milk, I like to try it. Imagine my excitement when I saw the brand's name! Well then I found out through their Facebook page that they have coffee flavors! The almond iced latte is okay, it tastes a bit strong but not espresso strong. Their iced mocha is very good. And when you look at the cost of buying a 20 ounce iced mocha from the average coffee chain, and the cost of the Califia bottle, it's a much better deal. And since the coffee chains use mostly ice in their drinks, the Califia brand is a very good deal.
