The Great Escape

Are you ready for this? I didn't stay home today. I broke out, escaped, made a get away.... I went on an adventure. I jumped up excited, ready to get the heck out of dodge. I got me a bite to eat and got ready to go. I popped my leftover 3 minute carrot cake oatmeal cookie in the microwave, nuked that baby for 30 seconds and breakfast was served. I just love these things. I am all about quick and easy, not to mention healthy and delicious.

I had plans to go with my aunt today. I think we were both ready for a day out, I know I was. It was pretty cold today, but the sun was shining and it was a good day to be out. As soon as Lynda got here, I was out the door. The first thing we did was head to La Patisserie to check out all the goodies and grab a cup of coffee. We also got a coffee flavored muffin and a variety of 6 other flavored muffins to go. The coffee and the muffin both were very good; nothing like a hot cup of coffee and a delicious muffin.

After that we took care of a little personal business and then we were ready for lunch. We decided to go for Mexican at Monterrey's. I was able to get some fish, which I had been craving for a while. I got some yummy fish tacos; another thing I've always wanted to try. I was not disappointed. The tacos were soft tacos, which I prefer, and were very good, they came with rice that I enjoyed and Lynda shared her beans with me and the beans were good also.

The only thing, I didn't like was the "sauce" that came with the tacos. It was more like Miracle Whip, a sweet sort of mayo, yuck! No problem though, I just used a little of the salsa that came with our chips and I enjoyed every bite. I got a Sprite to drink with my lunch, they didn't have bottled water. They really need to get with the program in that department. I really wish more restaurants offered bottled water.

I don't remember what Lynda ordered, I think it was something with chicken, but it smelled very good and  looked pretty good too. I'm sorry, but the picture I got was as bad as my memory.

When we left Monterrey's we went to Bloom's (A ritzy version of Food Lion). I mostly just looked around while Lynda got a few things, then were off to Michael's and on to Target. I also didn't get anything from Michael's but we did get some Greek yogurt at Target and a few other things. We went to Starbucks in Target before leaving and I got a Peppermint Mocha (warm chocolaty-minty goodness in a cup). I did remember to get decaf at Starbucks. I forgot and got regular at La Patisserie and I was still wound tight from that. I bet Lynda's ears were far more tired than the rest of her, by the time we were done. I will be talking in my sleep, lol.  I am mysteriously missing some pictures, that I know I took. I know I took some at Starbucks, but I can't seem to find them anywhere, but at least I didn't lose them all.

I still got my shot of Bloom's

My tacos were so good, I had the leftovers when I got home. I am also missing the shots I got before I ate my leftovers, but since I had it for lunch, you know what it looks like, lol.

I am home now, with my feet toasty warm in the cutest little crocheted slippers that Lynda gave me which she made, She also sent a few things for Lexi. I will post pictures of those later, since I want them to be a surprise for her next visit, but here's a shot of my slippers.

 Cute, huh?

I'm taking another picture tomorrow. I couldn't get the colors right in either of these.

I had a great day today. I hope Lynda enjoyed it as much as I did and I hope everyone enjoys today's post. Have you been on an adventure lately? Where did you go?
