Returns to Giuseppe's (Balboa Park) and Viva Pops (Normal Heights)

Quick takes:

Visit to the train museum in Balboa Park for ST today requires lunch afterwards! The trick with Giuseppe's: one person heads ahead, orders at the to-go counter. Others can show up after with no waiting and still sit at the tables in the back. Still love my Giuseppe's special with portabella swapped for chicken. CH had never been to Giuseppe's, and agreed that the salad dressing is super-yum (he ordered a chicken parm special and enjoyed it). ST loved his pizza (I snuck some - delish, Italian-style). Love Giuseppe's - best setting and delicious food.

And of course we went to Viva Pops on the way home. ST ordered a dairy-based lemon-rose popsicle. Tasted it, LOVED it and I don't even like lemon really (but the rose notes were so strong that it was delicious to me, and super-good for my lemon-loving son). I got goat-cheese-lavender-honey. Can someone say yummy? I think I'd order what ST got next time, but I had a delicious goat-cheese taste in my mouth and chilled feeling in my insides for quite a while after.

All that delicious food on a hot day made Foodie Mom take one long nap. Gotta find my boys!
