Yesterday, the girls and I took one of our semi-regular trips up the mountain to check out the leaves and to try a new diner that several other friends had recommended to us. Angel was off with her Sisters so was unable to join us. But Chun Hee tagged along in her place, and we had a fun time. Owing to Inge's recent fender bender, we had a rental car, a Toyota Prius. Might as well be environmentally friendly while we're enjoying nature's beauties.
Our first stop was in Heber at Spin Cafe. Let's just say that despite the multiple recommendations, it was all spin. A bit too trendy for the Dive Divas, and the food was overpriced and nothing special. We all decided that from now on, we'll be sticking with Hub Cafe instead.
From there, we headed farther in to town for a milkshake at Granny's. Now, I realize that Spin Cafe did offer milkshakes. But how can one go to Heber and not get a shake at Granny's? I mean, it's tradition. I had a chocolate banana shake and let me just say, it was mighty tasty.
Following our shakes, we decided to drive over to Midway to see if there was some better color there, and to give Janeen a small taste of Switzerland in the Rockies. It's so far a bit of a disappointing year in the fall leaf department, but there was some lovely gold over there. On our way into town, we saw a cute covered bridge. Of course we had to stop and take some pictures there.
For the green part of our trip, we took some photos of the Prius. It being a smart car, it had a keyless ignition, and all sort of interesting features. Funny thing though, was that it happened to be from Arizona, so everyone thought we were tourists. With all our photo-taking, we probably gave that impression as well. Nothing like touring your own backyard.
