Chocolate+yarn=AY YAY YAY

The weather was gorgeous and the girls were available, it only took 6 months to plan this, LOL!  The day had finally arrived and it ended up being everything we hoped it would be.  The Chocolate festival was first up!  Yeah, 10am is not too early for chocolate=0)  It was at a beautiful garden location and we had to walk the grounds to get to the festival.  We saw so many beautiful plants and the ocean breezes didn't hurt either.  


This seniorita took our breath away.



I was wishing I could put this fountain in my pocket and take it with me.


These guys dancing freaks us out, LOL!


We took a short break=0)


Okay, maybe a 5 minute break, LOL!


We did have to sit and discuss how it would be a nice place to have a wedding.


Cha Cha from St. Bernadettes(that's from the movie Grease) looked like she was ready to dance the day away.


We made it to the chocolates and we didn't need to count calories.......we just walked.....






Next up!!!!!!!!  Yarn store numero uno.
What would I pick?  What would Angelina(not Jolie) pick?  What would Jennifer(not Aniston) pick?  That would be WAY too much drama!  


Hmmmmmmmmm?
Hmmmmmmmmmm..........






My underground knitting posse was in full effect and we had a lot of stuff to pick.


Take a shot of tequila porque this yarn(LOVE!) was $40.00USD for 50grams!!!!!
SANTA MARIA!!!!  GLORIA DIVINA!!!
Well, I'm just quoting my Mama, LOL!





Store numero dos.  It was just heavenly!

Can you tell I had a wonderful day before Mama's Day?  I'll show you what I come up with.  You see my LOCO eyes?  Too much choco and too much yarn(SIGH!)
FELIZ DIA DE LAS MADRES MIS AMIGAS!!!!!!
Welcome all my new friends, it's so nice to meet cha=0)
Please come visit me soon!
I'll be around dropping comments, hoping to make you chuckle=0P

XOXO,
Carol
