I know you guys are anxious to find out how my day went yesterday. :) The Gilroy Garlic Festival was "awesome" like always :D There's so much to see and do there. For once traffic on the way there wasn't bad at all. In fact it only took us less an hour and a half to get there, which was cool and one of the reasons why we go there on Friday instead of Saturday ;) The most important reason for going there and one of my favorites has got to be....The food. They had all the classics that they have every year. One of the best things are the Stufffed mushrooms, and of course the shrimp scampi, pasta, and garlic bread. some of the other foods they had were calamari, pizza, garlic fries, and free even garlic ice cream. No Coke for me this time though, it was all water for me which is probably better anway :P
I think the best part about being out there is that you get to go the the outlet mall that's nearby. If you love to shop then you would be at heaven over here. With big names like, Nike, Addidas, Sony, Reebok, Banana Republic, Samsonite, Marie Claire, Sunglasses Hut all selling products cheaper than regular stores, you can get a lot of stuff for less than it would normally cost anywhere else. :D
Here are some pics that I took so you can see for yourself first hand some of the things I saw there:
