This is how we start our day with breakfast at Morning Glory in Little Italy. We go to Morning Glory and stand in line for a half hour to walk up the stairs to make a reservation. Then we go down the stairs and across the street to the Parakeet Cafe for coffee until we get paged (about one half hour later). Then we go back across the street and up the stairs again to be seated for breakfast.

Morning Glory is the coolest place ever – beginning with the sign on the window and the hilarious menu.

It was so worth the wait. There is everything on this menu that you could possibly want to eat. You have to read the entire 3-fold menu because it is very entertaining. The decision was so difficult that Kaitlynn and I ended up choosing something pretty simple. American Breakfast for me and Steak and Eggs for her (steak being waghu beef).

This was the first time I was charged the talked-about 4% service charge. It didn’t matter, though, because this dining experience was well worth it. Then, it was on to our art afternoon and a visit with our friend at the Sculpture’s Guild in Spanish Village.

I had forgotten just how large Balboa Park is and what attractions it holds. Silly me – I thought the Old Globe Theater would actually be open.

The Other Thing – The afternoon passed so quickly, but it is always a good day when I am spending time with my granddaughter.
