Garlic Ice Cream

On Saturday we went to Gilroy to check out the outlets. We all had several things we needed and had been putting off this day for quite a while. Neither of us are shoppers unless we are finding really good deals. There are 145 stores there and boy do they put Park City to shame! They have pretty much anything you need (and lots you don't need) for good prices - our kind of shopping! We didn't go on a holiday (thank goodness! - don't know if the sales would be worth the extra crowds) but there were still a lot of good deals. We spent all day there and didn't even get through half of the stores. McKay was a trooper... he only took a 1 hour nap (he has been sleeping A LOT lately recovering from our trip) and enjoyed running his hands along the clothes as we went by in the stroller. We stopped at a Famous Footwear in the evening and there weren't many people there so we ditched the stroller and let McKay walk around, get all the mirrors dirty, and grin at everyone. That may have been his favorite part of the day! It paid off too. The manager gave us $10 off a pair of brown leather shoes for Jordan and 10% off the whole purchase 'because she liked McKay'. Who says good looks don't get you anything!

There was also a store there called the Garlic Store. They had the famous Garlic Ice Cream as well as some garlic peanut butter cups. We figured we had to try it and everyone had told us it was actually pretty good. YUCK!! McKay ate more of the ice cream than we did! And he only did it because of the cute little spoons they gave us. It was terrible. And what a waste for the peanut butter cups! We decided we like garlic but it really needs to be kept separate from our dessert!
