It began with us rising early to go to a neighborhood breakfast place we've heard is really good called Pete's Grille. It's 3 blocks down the street and every time we go past it, there is usually a line out the door. The place itself only has a counter with about 15 seats, which makes it cozy, and since we got up early, we didn't have to wait. I got chocolate chip pancakes and bacon and Tim got a western omelette with home fries. Apparently, the swimmer Michael Phelps used to load up on food before a big competition at Pete's Grille. Anyway, it's a nice little dive with good prices and good food.
When we finished breakfast, we walked a block toward our apartment and stopped at the Waverly Farmer's Market, where we bought some lovely pansies to plant on our balcony.
After walking two blocks back home, we dropped the flowers off and departed to another neighborhood spot, The Book Thing, which is a warehouse full of free books. We had one of the best book-picking days there; we even needed a box to carry them all home.
And to put to rest any suspicions (if you're looking closely enough at these books), no, we are not expecting a baby; it's just fun to read about!To finish the day off, we went to hit some golf balls at the driving range and stopped on the way home at a baseball diamond to hit and field some balls.
I love that so much fun (minus the driving range sadly) can be had in our little neighborhood.
I must say I noticed the 2 "Pregnancy" mags IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!! hahaha! I was so excited and then realized I had spoken to you the night before this and I assumed you would have said something, hahaha, anyway, you look very pretty there holding your flowers...

Haha-Moms are all alike! I noticed them, too, before I read your comments! My heart skipped a few beats:)Great finds at the Book Thing, and the pancakes look amazing! I bought some pansies last weekend, too, but then it snowed, so I haven't planted them yet. They are such cheerful signs of spring, though!
