Dole Fruit Pots and Jelly Pots – Great Snacks

[Ad- gifted product] Dole is such a classic brand that always has a bunch of different fruit-related treats that are perfect for your packed lunches, picnics, or just a snack, especially in the summertime! We got the chance to try out the Dole fruit pot – specifically the tropical fruit in juice and the Dole jelly pot, specifically the mixed fruit in peach flavour jelly this time. There are just some of the different snacks that they have to offer, all of which are under 100 calories per pot. They are a great source of vitamin c, contain no artifical sweeteners, flavourings or colorings, so feels like a win when your children grab for them.

American Classics at Pinecrest Diner

Going to the Pinecrest Diner while in San Francisco for work, is something that basically every person in the area, going to GDC, does. The diner is open 24 hours, making it perfect for the first day you wake up, jet lagged, wanting both breakfast and lunch items all at once. It reminds me of everything that I love about America. Customising meals, unlimited refills on drinks, and a very simplistic looking place that has everything you want in it. Dann and I went right after we woke up, around 7:30 am local time (2:30 pm in England), so we were both rather hungry.

Seeing it all in Spy Guy Fantasy

[Ad- gifted products] I feel like Spy Guy Fantasy is the perfect version of Spy Guy for our family. We took this tabletop game to our bi-weekly Geek Retreat board game night, where we spread it out onto the table. Amelia and Robin commented on how our board games have been on the longer side physically lately, taking up more and more of the table. This game was another that took up a big spread, with each of us sitting around it.

A Birthday Dinner at Burger and Lobster Restaurant

Dann and I went to our friend Oscar’s Birthday Party at the restaurant Burger and Lobster. Dann and I aren’t fans of burgers or lobster, and with a name like this, we weren’t really sure what we were going to eat! Excited to celebrate with our friend, however, we headed there. It was actually an extremely busy day for us, so we arrived about five minutes late. There are a few different locations, so when I entered the one we were meant to be at and the manager said we were at the wrong place, that we needed to take a train, I really thought I had messed up, until he saw I was actually getting flustered and said he was kidding, offering to get us a drink. This manager had a lot of personality!

Air Square – Long Range Frisbee

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve tested a few different types of frisbees in our time, so we were pretty excited to see a new frisbee in time for the summer weather! We often spend time in our town centre and at the beach, so we often have a small number of toys that we carry around in the car, just in case we want to play. The Air Square is a new contender, so we took it to the town centre to see if it was really as good as the packaging said.
