Adventure Sunday

Today was the first of a hopefully longstanding and wonderful tradition of Adventure Sundays. As those will be the only day of the week that I'm sure to have totally free, Holly and I decided we would do our level best to find a new adventure every Sunday after church.

Today's adventure: Downtown.

Yes yes. I've done this already, I know, but this time I actually took pictures and did something other than sit in Malaprops and read!

(We did do that for a while though. What can I say? This book is addicting.)

Then we went and checked out World Coffee Cafe, where I had this lovely cappuccino and some much-needed caffeine. And while sitting there waiting for Laura to join us, we saw a purple pigeon? What? 

 Sorry for the blurry picture, it was running for its life from a small child. When your brain is the size of a pea its easy to forget you have wings I guess.

I've never seen a pigeon like it before.

We found an excellent people-watching spot, right in the window, and just relaxed for a while. 

This guy thought he was Buddha or something. I told Holly to pretend like I was taking a picture of her so I could capture the moment and not look like a creeper. 

Oh look! I actually was taking a picture of her! She's so pretty :)

After a while there, where we were joined by Laura and her friend Riley, we headed to Pack's Tavern for diner where I had the best BLT I've ever had in my life. I need to start grilling the bread of all my sandwiches with butter before constructing them. Fried green tomatoes too. SO good!

And to top off the evening, Laura and I went home and baked banana chocolate chip pecan oatmeal cookies, and decided to start a cooking blog. Check it out here, at http://soon2be2fatladies.blogspot.com/ . Yeah, that name is no joke. We're making plans to add a workout regimen to our list of adventures as well. 

Speaking of which, stay tuned for my Asheville Adventure List, which I will be compiling most likely while under the influence of heavy sedation and painkillers after surgery later this week. Get excited.

I ended this wonderful day with a couple hours on skype with my favorite person in the world. Three weeks was far far too long to go without seeing his face :) 

SUCH a quality day.

The end.
