Vacation 2008: Day Four

Breakfast: Florentine ramekins, bacon, and sliced strawberries and bananas with yogurt.  Yum.

Today, we set out to do two of the primary things that brought us to Springfield - Laura Ingalls Wilder's house and Fantastic Caverns.

Check, and check.

The weather had been threatening, but other than a bit of rain during our tour of Laura's home and gravesite and the drive back, it wasn't a bad day at all.  We also experienced Lambert's Cafe, Home of the Throwed Rolls.  I had been to both the Springfield and Branson location, and thought my fellow travelers really needed to join in the fun.

Ragged and I also got to visit yet another yarn shop, One City Market.  We may be seeing Lisa in the very near future too, as she offered to bring by a Spunky Eclectic shipment she's expecting.  To the Inn.  Oh my.  She's got a wonderful selection of goodies.  Suddenly, it becomes very apparent to me that I do not need any more yarn shops near me.  If I had this kind of access all the time, it would be trouble.  But, neither vacation calories nor vacation yarn count, so it's all good.

This evening, after our big day, we picked up Panera Bread yummies and ate on the back deck at the Inn.  Nice. 

Cookie of the Day: cinnamony chocolate chip

And a very Happy Birthday to my momma!
