Michelle, Andi and Tanner at the Ocean Beach Club

Carina took her first round of block exams today, which means that when she was done, she had nothing to study until after classes tomorrow.

PARTY!!

We partied Mormon style of course.  Dinner out (no booze), ice cream and a movie.  We went to a little restaurant Cheyenne had told us about: Ocean Beach Club.  It’s a cute, well groomed little place tucked out of the way which we never would have found on our own, and well within walking distance of where we live.  The food was yummy and affordable, but sadly we were too early for the all you can eat BBQ chicken.  And we’ll have to come back on Wednesday for the all-you-can-eat ribs.  So fun!

After dinner we drove our rental car into Cole Bay where we visited the legendary Carousel ice-cream shop.  Wow! Honestly, this place puts any ice-cream place I’ve ever seen back home to absolute shame.  After trying several flavors I settled on Nutella (which made me think of Tom Walsh and the going away party they threw for us featuring Nutella covered brownies.  Nutella.  Brownies.  Two of my biggest vices and weaknesses in life.)

And after ice-cream we went across the street from Carousel to the one-and-only movie theatre on the island (at least that we know of?) and watched We Bought a Zoo.  The theater was much nicer than I expected it to be, and the movie was fantastic.

All in all, it was a fantastic evening celebrating Cari’s first exams.

Good job Carina.  We love you!

We discovered a new drink: Ting. Like Squirt, but more weak. Cari and the kids loved it.
