March 20, 2009 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Rainforest Café, Costa Mesa, Orange County, California The Rainforest Café is part of the South Coast Plaza Shopping Mall, which is located at 3333 Bristol Street in Costa Mesa, Orange County, California   April har ønsket sig fødselsdagsmiddag på Rainforest Café, og siden vi ikke har en lige i baghaven, og det netop kunne passe at tage derop i dag, blev det en lidt tidlig start på festlighederne. The Spud had requested that her birthday dinner be at the Rainforest Café, and since we don't have one right in our backyard, and since today was a good day for traveling a bit, we had an early start to the festivities.           Barstole ~ Rainforest Café ~ Bar stools     Rainforest Café er en restaurant med et overdådigt regnskovs-decor i bedste Disney-stil, komplet med vandfald, regnstorme, levende tropefisk, glimt af stjernehimlen, og animatroniske dyr. The Rainforest Café is a restaurant which is lavishly decorated to look like a Disney rainforest complete with waterfall, rain storms, live tropical fish, glimpses of the night sky, and large animatronic animals.

Atlas         Tropefiskene er nok lidt malplacerede, men utroligt flotte. The tropical fish may look a little out of place, but they're gorgeous.       Middagen var lækker, og kronen på værket var en "dessert vulkan". Dinner was delicious, and the crowning touch was the "dessert vulcano".

Et træ, der fortæller historier. A storytelling tree.

Der var - naturligvis - legetøj til salg i imponerende kvantiteter... og det var meget tæt på, at April havde fået den kæreste lille abeunge med hjem. There were - of course - toys for sale in impressive quantities... and the Spud very nearly brought home the cutest ever little baby monkey.
