THURSDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER.............
We were awake with the larks this morning after having an amazing sleep........again, thought we would sleep late as we were doing HHN tonight, but since we were awake we got up and I realised I had spilled something on my dress last night and Tom wanted to get something else washed so we decided on hitting the pool again this morning and stick a few things in the laundry.........sounded ok to me as pool is always quiet in the morning.......
Skyped Kyle before we went for breakfast.......he was doing ok..........we were missing him dreadfully by now, but he was fine.......lol......
so we went to laundry and put a few items in and went up for breakfast which was light today, just some fruit and a slice of toast.........then back down to put clothes in dryer before heading for the pool
We spend a couple of hours till the sun covers the pool completely and then go get showered and changed and we head to the Mall at Millenia for a wander and lunch at The Cheesecake Factory........I wait for Tom to go get the car today as I`m talking to someone I know from valet, and when he goes I get some pics of the entrance area to RP......it was such a beautiful day and we felt incredibly lucky with the weather.......
Cheesecake Factory is Kyle`s favourite place for dessert and it was funny the times they remembered him from previous years..........boy loves his chocolate cake!!! So Tom had been ordered to enjoy at least one while we were there. I'm sure you know how much I love this mall, it just has everything we like, not too big and some lovely stores inside. But we were really here for lunch today.
We first went to Macy`s for the Clinique counter who were doing rewards day........so, we bought some things I wanted and got the free gift and goody bag........it has some really nice things inside and when we go through to pay the guy who served us sees me looking at 4 tubs of things with items inside. I ask what they are and he says samples for when you buy certain things.......he pops one of each in bag too of which I am pleased as they are nice........very nice of him too. I pick up a Chanel perfume too, I like Chance au Fraiche which is just lovely and the 100ml usually lasts me around 6 months........
Now Tom`s tummy is rumbling.......so Cheesecake Factory it is..........
We take a picture of his favourite Linda`s Chocolate Fudge cake on the counter............it is huge!!!
We get seated and are given the largest menu ever in a restaurant.........I`m sure if we came for dinner we would take an hour to choose.......
lunch is slightly easier........I opt for BBQ Burger with sweet potato fries and Tom gets........
Linda Fudge Cake........if he had a sandwich no way would he have been able to eat the cake, which is why Kyle always chose to have just the cake for lunch..........
The lady at the table beside us is amazed at the cake and tells Tom he will never finish it........lol........always up for a challenge..........
Easy for him.........as everyone who has read any of my trip reports will know I hate chocolate cake with a passion so cannot understand how they can eat one so large and so rich!!! But, they love it and Kyle judges all cakes by Linda`s on a scale of it being a 10. I make a flourless chocolate cake for him at home and I am delighted he rates that as a 10 too.
Food was lovely.......the burger was really nice and sweet potato fries were among the nicest I had tasted......and of course Tom loved the cake!! We were so full by now.........
Quick photo op and we are off to Total Wine for a gift for someone special.
We get to total wine and we just love this place.........thousands of wines and spirits and full of flavoured spirits that we just don't get...........we could spend some serious money in here........as soon as we step out of the car the heavens opened.....we had commented leaving the mall that it felt so humid and the skies were getting extremely black......so we ran for the building and then all we could hear was massive rumblings of thunder and we could see the lightning flashing in the sky from the window........we were glad we were inside.........it went on for ages so we took our time and marvelled at the vast array of products on offer.........eventually we chose a wine for ourselves and the gifts we wanted for someone.
We ended up standing in the doorway for around 20 minutes as the weather wasn't easing any.......but when there was a slight gap in the downpour we made a run for the car and got seriously wet doing so.........but we were in and made the very slow journey back to the hotel as everyone was taking it easy.
As we neared the hotel as is usually the way with afternoon downpours it eased dramatically........but Tom dropped me off at the door and went to park the car. I carried our purchases in and it was awkward as there was a rather large gift box too......but one of the valet guys helped and I made sure not to forget to get Tom to tip him as I do not carry cash usually.........we got to the room and dried off a little hoping the downpour wouldn't come back on for HHN tonight.
Put the wine in the fridge and got the parcel wrapped and looked forward to our next night at HHN.
