Saturday (06/13) we hit up the Wheaton French Market before 8 am so we could get in line for the Cooperage coffee booth right away. We tried their vanilla iced latte and now it makes sense why they have a mile-long line within a few minutes of opening – it’s delicious!
We grabbed some pastries and people-watched for a long while before walking around a bit of the downtown area. We discovered they have an entire block cordoned off with a row of tents with seating for all the restaurants on that block. I found out they keep it up all summer and into early October, so I added that to my list of things I want to do this summer on a nice day – breakfast one weekend and dinner on another.
Once we got home I prepped lunch (chicken salad) in preparation for Joe’s son and girlfriend who were arriving within an hour. We don’t get to see them often enough because he works long hours which really sucks because they’re both such a pleasure to be around.
We exchanged our long overdue Christmas gifts. We gave E money and a little 3D printed Pokémon (Charmander) who looks like he’s made of yarn. I felt bad we didn’t get anything specifically for his girlfriend so that will be changing this year. And hopefully we can see them closer to the holiday too since it’s been years since that has happened.
In any case, these are the thoughtful gifts he gave us:
E has been adding to my Cure vinyl collection for years now. The latest is The Top picture disc. And he’s also our personal UNO game dealer; I’m excited to try the Uno Flip Attack. They couldn’t stay long enough to play any games, unfortunately.
Sunday (06/14) we rested from all the people-ing on Saturday. If you’re an introvert then you understand.
