Scruffy and I had talked about going somewhere international for my 30th and it obviously wasn’t happening so Patricia and I were going to go to New York and visit our friend instead. After seeing the prices we decided to postpone that to a later date. I was actually secretly planning a trip for him and I to Marble Falls and it’s surrounding places before we broke up so Patricia and I decided to go instead. I tweaked some of the plans to fit her instead of him and we’ve had a pretty grand day.
After a three hour drive I met her at the hotel and since we were too early, we decided to continue on with our plans and check in later.
Sweet Berry Farms was first on my list and I was surprised at how many people, especially children were out there. I guess there was a field trip or something.
I have always wanted to go to a farm and pick pumpkins, strawberries, apples, peaches, it didn’t matter. So I was super excited I finally got to do this and that mother nature was nice to us.
We began our strawberry picking adventure. There were so many to choose from but my favourites are the smaller ones. Some areas of the terrain were muddy and some strawberries were rotten but overall I can finally check something off my list. Patricia even got to enjoy a nice, cold strawberry popsicle.
I guess you could say we did a pretty dang good job. So many bright red deliciousness waiting for us!
We headed to Blue Bonnet Cafe afterward for their famous pie. There was a line out the door!
I opted for the waitress’s favourite, German Chocolate Pie while Patricia ordered the Coconut Cream Pie. Patricia told the waitress it was for my birthday and she was nice enough to put in a candle but didn’t have a lighter. How do I make a wish, lady?!
Overall, the pie was okay. It was way too sweet which is a given. But it’s definitely not something I’d stop by to get. House of Pies or Proud Pie is still a winner in my book.
Since Patricia was hungry we went to Noon Spoon Cafe.
She got a soup and half a sandwich combo while I chose the tomato basil soup only. I’ve been craving soup so it was perfect.
We finally checked into our hotel and I opened the present Patricia got me. I’m excited to try all the new makeup!! Thank you!!
We relaxed a bit at the hotel before going to an early dinner at The Real New Orleans Style Restaurant. Boiled crawfish?! Do you think we ordered that?
Because we did. Obviously. Along with boiled shrimp. It was spiced Cajun style. The flavouring was perfect but they could do better with their cooking time as it was overcooked.
We also got a cup of gumbo, green beans, crawfish mac and cheese, and French fries. The best thing was the crawfish mac and cheese. I’d come back just for that!
It’s been a long while since I’ve gone to the theater and we had decided to watch a movie together in the past since we rarely get to. Thankfully there was Showbiz Cinemas nearby and we got to check that off our friendship list.
We chose Pokemon Detective Pikachu because the nerd in me just had to see it. We ordered the tiniest box meal along with a giant water for me.
The movie was better than I expected and I was thrilled when I saw Snorlax on the big screen even though it was in passing. He was hairy, which makes him much more cuddly than ever. I do hope they make another one.
We have a relaxing day planned for tomorrow but it’s also supposed to rain so we’ll have to see how it plays out. Luckily I have my rain boots and rain jacket just in case!
