Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night. Another fun thing about the MagicBand+ is that it'll blink and flash in all sorts of colors depending on where you are, whether at certain rides or shows.  You can also use to link PhotoPass photos and other experiences.

Visit Washington: The Cove Restaurant

After a long day driving along the Oregon Coast, and then getting stuck in traffic and heavy rain, we were famished.  A Google Map search of restaurants near our hotel in Vancouver, Washington turned up The Cove Restaurant.

There were no reservations available until late, but when I called they said they welcome walk-ins to be seated at the bar, which is where we ended up sitting.

Seafood Fondue

I don't eat much seafood, but I really wanted to try the Seafood Fondue.  It was full of Oregon Bay shrimp, crab, trumpet mushrooms, Mama Lil's Preppers Gruyere Cheese, sherry cream, and topped with a spiced oregano crust.

It was served with a focaccia that was a little too soft, as well as a lovely triple seed crostini.   

The fondue was great - cheesy, creamy, and delicious.
Bourbon BBQ Chicken Sandwich

The Bourbon BBQ Chicken Sandwich was juicy and moist, topped with crispy onions, pepper jack, tomato, and a creamy chipotle slaw. Served with Malt Vinegar Salted Steak Fries, it was such a great meal.

Texas Dry Rubbed Ribeye

Service was excellent at The Cove Restaurant. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
