1/1/18 An Excellent Mall and a Wonderful Gondola ride

It was a grand last day of our honeymoon. We got up early so we could have some continental breakfast. Sarah and I shared biscuits and gravy and half a waffle cooked in front of us. We then went back to sleep until check out time. We decided to skip on Idyllwild and head towards Huntington Beach. Sarah did some research and found a company called Sunset Gondola. We decided to book it for 6pm this evening.

On our way, we stopped at a mall, a huge one, called _________. It was pretty snazzy. It was divided into three large sections with three stories each and separated by bridges, one that went over a major street. They had humongous Christmas trees that reached all three stories. We went to Croft and Barrel, which is this really nice store that has furniture in it that is extremely overpriced. Like, we saw a firewood stand that was literally 4 bars and a base for over $50. Then I heard someone ask an information lady if there was a Microsoft store, so I naturally wanted to go see it. We learned more about Microsoft Office, but other than that, that's all we did. Then we went to H&M to see there clothes because Sarah heard good things. While we were walking, Sarah bumped into people she knew and even gone out with in the past. Then we went to Victoria Secret; only my 2nd time going in there.






Then we headed to Target to see if they had Martinelli's, which they didn't, of course, but we got grape Welch's type martinelli for the Gondola ride. We also picked up some nasal strips, because I snore.

The Gondola ride was pretty cool. It wasn't in the sunset because it's winter, but our guide Beppy, or Tim, was very nice and rowed us. We talked about the Venetians and about Hail Mary's and about raising kids. He sang to us in Venetian under a bridge. It was very romantic.














Then we drove back to our Air BNB, almost getting into a car accident.

We had some more fun and watched an episode of West Wing and ate our Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, where we went for a late lunch/early dinner. The food there was excellent.
