The family took a little shopping trip to Walnut Creek today. I especially wanted to pay a visit to the new Giggle store. Giggle carries a wide assortment of baby and children-related products. It's a big high end, but they offer fabulous items. They feature the latest in nursery furniture such as Oeuf and Sleepi. You can check out the latest stroller designs from Bugaboo and Stokke. I ended up buying a diaper bag from GR8X and some Mustela sunscreen for the Armadillo.
We also bought another pair of sandals for the armadillo. I adore the sandals from Geox. The armadillo had a pair last summer and they lasted until he grew out of it. They looked like they were barely worn when I had to put it away. I need to get a pair for myself. We ate lunch at PF Chang's. It's been awhile since we ate there. The food was good, especially the Mongolian Beef. That has to be my favorite dish. The beef is thinly sliced and it's seasoned well. I also love the fact that it is not spicy like most Mongolian Beef dishes you find. They appear to pan fry it till it's crispy on the edges. Yum!
I wish I had taken some allergy medicine beforehand. It was very windy and my nose and eyes were itching like crazy. Before we headed back to the car, I made a quick stop to Moonstruck Cafe. The Moonstruck Cafe is an elegant cafe offering fine hand crafted chocolates and chocolate drinks. The chocolate pieces looked scrumptious but were a little too pricey for my taste. I wanted a chocolate drink and couldn't decide which. The cashier suggested their Chocolate Au Lait. I had it iced and with whipped cream. It was tasty but it wasn't all that special. It was like drinking chocolate milk with whipped cream. I regretted having that drink later on as I sorely remembered my intolerance to milk. I wish they had just regular coffee drinks without the milk. But I guess chocolate and milk go hand in hand. I did enjoy the piece of dark chocolate they placed on my whipped cream. I think that was the best part of my drink. What a shame. I would go back though, but most likely to just hang out.
This was a good day. It was the most shopping we've done in quite awhile. Both the armadillo and the lil' lamb was pooped when we got home. In fact, so was I. I think this counts as exercise right?
