Riding the Green Trolley at The Grove

The last few times that John has visited the Grove, he hasn't been able to ride the green trolley. He kept on talking about it as if it were the only thing that would complete his life. Yesterday, he had the great pleasure to ride the trolley. He was one of the first to get on the trolley and he was the last to disembark. He actually wanted to ride it again, but Maureen said that they had to go. They then headed to Barnes and Noble to meet up with Nicholas and me for a "little bit" lunch at the cafe.

After lunch, we headed to the children's section which was packed. There were a tons of Japanese tourists. Some of their children were not so nice and quite pushy. One of them started to step on John to get to the trains. I didn't hear about that until this afternoon or I would have cursed at them in Korean. I know Japanese and Korean are two entirely different languages, but it's close enough. John really enjoyed listening to me read Goodnight Gorilla to him. I had to read it 4-times before I finally said, "Let's find another book."

On a side note, we had to park in the valet section because there was no self parking. Or, I should say, there was little self-parking. John really liked the valet waiting area. They had some comfortable chairs and couches. He actually didn't want to leave the valet area because he was ever so comfortable. The only way we got him to go to the car was to tell him that we were going to visit the office fountain.
