Avengers: Age of Ultron

Duffy and I went to the first showing of Marvels' latest movie. He dressed as Captain America and I dressed as Hulk.

I really liked the movie. It had a good blend of action and comedy. I was glad to see more about Hawkeye. It sets up the next few Marvel movies and now I can't wait for Civil War.

Spring Break Day 3

I started off my day by taking a nature walk.

There were lizards everywhere!


I also saw a deer, a rabbit, and a lot of birds but they were all too fast for my camera.


These plants give a nice texture to the landscape.




i saw these neat ornamental masks.

When I got back from my walk, I wanted to go to the bookstore. I went to Barnes & Noble. They had this Doctor Who display.

These cute little bears were available for sale. Cute!

I bought a couple of doodling and coloring books.

I enjoyed a refreshing iced passion tea from their cafe.



When I got back to the B&B, I took another quick walk before dinner. More lizards!



Pretty flowers





Dinner was a salad bar at the B&B. There were so many toppings!

This was my last night sleeping at the B&B. I still had a few more days of vacation, but this was my last in the Gold Country area. It's a nice place to visit and it's quieter than a big city. Now I will plan my next trip.

Black Bear Diner

While I was in Auburn, I stopped for lunch at the Black Bear Diner. I really like this place. There are bears everywhere! The food is typical American diner fare. The portions are so big that I've always been too "stuffed" to try their dessert.

This bear is a lot bigger than I am!



I don't like this sign.


These bears were hanging out just outside of the booth where I was seated.

The ketchup bottles even have bears on them.


These are the backs of the stools at the counter.





This big guy is in the lobby. I'd love to bring him home.


These are a few of the items available in their gift shop.

Love the word play

See what I mean about the portions? This omelet is huge and they give a lot of potatoes and all that toast.


The menus and place mats are all fun.
