Hot Chocolate, Cold Weather

November 22nd, 2008

Tomorrow I’m heading home to Mill Valley for Thanksgiving.    Here are some of the things I can’t wait to do:

-Bundle up with layers since the weather will be legitimately crisp.
-Sip hot cocoa at Mama’s Royal Cafe.
-Visit the library.  Tucked among the trees, it has an almost storybook setting.
-Hike Mount Tamalpais in the morning.
-Meet friends at Joe’s Taco Lounge for their amazing enchiladas.
-Jump in the hot tub at night (you can actually see stars in Northern California).

    That looks sooo yum! And I do love going to the library on quiet days and finding new books. Although more often than not, I seem to prefer going to charity shops to buy old books instead of just borrowing.
