Sunday, July 8, with plans for an early dinner at the Hilton’s rooftop bar, “Grain.” First stop, however, is Dillard’s at the mall, to make a small purchase of ~ahem~ undergarments because I am absolutely *done* doing laundry and am certainly not going to lug it all the way across this marina to the laundry room in this heat. And, it’s a nice excuse to spend time in a beautiful air-conditioned place with upscale stores I remember so fondly from our time in CA.

| Along with pretzel bites, duck tacos (me), big bang shrimp tacos (Doug), and black forest brownies, we enjoyed some excellent craft beer. My favorite: Big Wave from Hawaii. |
