This photo was not taken from today - but does quite a good job at representing the weather, plus I think it is a fantastic photo.
The sun is shining (okay...it is a little cold and windy, but the sun, the SUN is out!).
And Nic and I had just the right amount of activities planned in the morning leaving the rest of the afternoon free to do yard work, bake, clean, whatever:
Breakfast at Fair Grounds Coffee House in Iowa City:
Gluten free espresso chocolate chip biscotti and coffee
Banana bread waffle - simple but oh so delicious
Grilled tempeh - ummm...not such a fan
Nic's vegan breakfast burrito and latte
I was proud of him for taking a chance on ordering this, but we both declared we are not tofu or tempeh people...
Spectated and cheered on a friend at the Old Capitol Criterium:
Warmed up with some more coffee and scones at the Java House:
I love that they brew each cup of coffee as you order it! I've never seen these brew stations until this morning.
Cranberry citrus scone - stole a few bites from Nic, but it was a little too buttery for me
I absolutely love Iowa City!
I think we are both going to become full time students and move here - Maddie, will you still claim us as family if we become Hawkeyes??
Made a quick trip to Target and snagged some good deals on clothes and had an extremely difficult time picking out a 1st communion card for our friend's son. We ended up going with a fun 'congratulations' card instead of a religious card.
Had lunch at said friend's house.
And now the rest of the afternoon is free!! Yipppeee! I think I am going to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen whipping up some fun creations.
Happy Sunday!
