Today felt like a Monday for some reason. Well that reason would probably be because it was my Monday. I went on a road trip so my week started a little later than usual. I love the freedom my job gives me to just pick up and go for a few days when the mood so strikes me!
It was a fun little trip! A good friend of mine and I went to visit a mutual friend of ours in the great state of Wisconsin. I always love driving through the country there. There are moments when I feel like I've stepped back in time, with nothing spread out before you but green rolling hills, the ever present herds of cows and big red barns dotting the rows and rows of fields waiting to be planted. It gives me a sense of what life used to be like in a simpler time.
During our few days in small town WI we got to do some exploring. A trip to the General Store for lunch, which was absolutely amazing! The food there is so good. We poked our heads in several off the main road craft and gift shops. And then dove into the stores of treasures and fun in an antique mall. So great! Wish I could spend all day admiring what someone else thought was junk!
Last but not least we tried our hand at cooking. On our lunch menu was homemade hummus and flatbread. To begin this particular project we had to venture out to the store since some of the ingredients we required are not generally found in a typical kitchen pantry. We had to try two different stores before we found what we wanted but in the end we were victorious! Both of our dishes turned out so well. It was an excellent lunch and a great ending to our WI visit! Now it's back to the daily grind, but lucky for me it's only a two day work week. Looking forward to the weekend.
