The Tea Garden - Holyrood

There is a little restaurant tucked away behind a wall of greenery in Holyrood, and it's called The Tea Garden. I have been here a few times - celebrating our anniversary, for my husband's sister's wedding, for a Pink Days in Bloom event, and most recently for my Mom's birthday.

It is recommended that reservations are made as they do be quite busy during their open season. And, they are only open a few days a week. But - it is so worth getting to dine here!

On Sunday's they serve the traditional Newfoundland turkey dinner as their special. If that is not your style, then they do have other options, like chicken, lamp, ribs, etc. All of the menu items that I have had are delicious!

After dining there is a deck that you can explore and many photo opportunities either with the amazing ocean in the background, or in the garden with the lush greenery creating a great backdrop.

We will definitely be back for future events. Not only for the food and the view, but because the staff are fantastic to deal with! "Someone" may have dropped the hint that it was Mom's birthday and "someone else" may have noted it on the reservation ;)

If you venture outside the city of St. John's for a meal, this is the place to go!

And that's a wrap on The Tea Garden.

Later Days,

Harry Potter - Which house do you belong in?

Consider this a heads-up. This is a Harry Potter related post. I'm a fan, a late-to-the-party fan, but a fan all the same. I didn't grow-up reading the novels, or watching the movies. All of my Harry Potter experience is from adulthood. (This post contains affiliated links. Meaning that I may collect a share of the sales or other compensation from the Amazon links on this page.) I'm since read all of the novels (bought the pretty box set to display on my bookshelf), watched the movies, collected some display items and puzzles, and visited Universal Studios in Florida. All of my Harry Potter, Universal Studios, park pictures have one thing in common - I'm holding a delicious, frozen butterbeer! **Teaser** This trip will be featured in a future post. To start, which house have you been sorted into by the Pottermore website? I'm a Slytherin . Although, I've retaken the quiz, because this sorting was from a few years ago, and I was sort...

October Staycation

This past week my hubby and I had a staycation. We love Fall - and it's for this reason that we always take a week or so off to enjoy it. During our week off we gorged on Little Caesars Stuffed Crazy Bread and Cinnamon rolls (nom nom nom carbs lol). Purchased a few new aquarium inhabitants, including 3 snails, 3 Odessa Barbs, 3 Skirt Tailed Tetra Glowfish, and a Kheli Loach. So far, one of the Tinfoil Barbs has tried to immediately pick up and eat the loach, and tried to pull a snail off the glass of the aquarium. We are doing fish counts daily until the Tinfoil Barbs lose interest. We also took a drive through Swift Current to Marystown to do some sightseeing. Along this route are a few lookouts. We did stop at one of them, however, the binoculars that were stationed here were broken (maybe sandblasted by the wind sweeping over the area?) There seems like there is nothing special about this area. But, this is the only area of thi...

Sci-Fi on the Rock

Hi folks, Last weekend myself and Mandi attended, and hosted an event and panel at this years Sci-Fi on the Rock for our Welcome to Deadhouse Goosebumps book club ( #GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter). This adventure all started with suggestions from our spouses. So, we came up with a few ideas, went through the application process and waited. We are new to the event and panelist, and our YouTube book club is under a year old - so we figured that we didn't have much of a shot of being accepted. Then the email came. We were accepted as panelist. For both ideas that we submitted. Oh snap! Oh snap! OH SNAP! Planning the panels was super fun. We love the Goosebumps series and we were able to create a plan that we were both happy with. The "Reader Beware, You Choose the Scare!" event was first - it was the first evening of the event, and scheduled to be 2 hours long. Here we read through the Diary of the Mad Mummy, and backtracked 4 times to get 4 diff...
