Ah, well, I personally loved the movie! It is a family favorite.

We have been to Monterey many times {I've never considered eating at a different location...} but never went A} because of the lines and B} the family was probably going to eat burgers so I refused to go to a seafood restaurant for burgers.

But, on our last road trip, the movie playing over and over in the hotel room was, you guessed it, Forrest Gump. Our 13 year old son hadn't really seen it before and he got into it and enjoyed it.

As a treat for him, who is willing to try different foods, we took him to Bubba Gumps. We sat outside, a great view of the ocean, some adorable baby sea gulls, and, great service.

The card you mentioned, alphabassettgrrl, was cool.

We bought the boys t-shirts and I also got an 'I Love Jenny' shirt {my daughters name is Jeni}.

It was a fun experience, the food was pretty good, we weren't disappointed.

I don't think I would go to the one at Garden Walk, I liked the fact we were in Monterey. And, that it coincided with the fun we had sharing the movie.

Will we go again? Hard to tell. One thing I will say, some people sure don't think. We walked up to a line of people, I stood at the end and told the Hubster to go up and make sure if we needed to put our name down or what. Well, we did have to and guess how many people had to get out of line to do it themselves? Our wait was pretty short.
