Trains and Fondue! A New Years Eve celebration!

The Jarvises met us back in California for a few days after Christmas. We had a lot of fun while they were here. On New Years Eve Day we decided to take the train to South Pasadena for a fun afternoon.

Gavin had never been on the city train before and he was very excited once he realized what we were doing. He kept saying "The train!" and "all aboard!"



Waiting at the train station.
South Pasadena is a cute city with a small old town feel. We walked down Mission Street and checked out some antique stores and other cute shops. We ended at the Fair Oaks Pharmacy for a delicious lunch and ice cream! Unfortunately by then Gavin was a little bit of a wreck.


Riding the train back home.
That night we had a delicious New Years Eve celebration dinner at The Melting Pot!  Our friends Dave and Brittany were nice enough to watch Gavin for us so we didn't have to worry about him sticking his hands in the fondue!

The food was delicious, although I was a little disappointed that they had a set menu so I couldn't have my favorite salad there! Oh well. Everything was still amazing!!  They even provided these fun hats for us!



We didn't want Gavin to feel completely left out, so we let him try on the hat when we got home!


After putting Gavin to bed we watched "Charade." I didn't quite make it to midnight, but I tried.

It was a great end to 2011 and a fun beginning to 2012!

I don't think I made it to midnight either. But we sure did have a good time. Thanks for hosting us.

Wow, short sleeves and shorts on New Years Eve. How jealous am I?

I hate when restaurants do the set menu thing. I'm wayyyyy too picky for that. That's fun they provided the hats though. A nice touch.
