I went out and about today. So did everyone else, it seems!
What a busy Saturday around town. Such a beautiful day!
We made a few fun stops today.
Pine State Biscuits is a tasty breakfast and lunch spot on Belmont, with another location on Alberta. The Belmont store is small, only 4 tables and 4 stools. We took our food to go, because there wasn't any place to sit. It's very busy on a nice Saturday morning, but the long wait is worth it. I wouldn't recommend bringing the kids if they can't wait long. The food is fantastic. I was with a group of 5 and we all loved our food. It's southern style, with AMAZING biscuits as the base of most breakfast and lunch dishes.

Unique Flea
A little Flea Market on 6th and Belmont. It's just one street of outdoor vendors. It's mostly vintage collectibles. Some nice items and tasty donuts. They run every third Saturday through October. Some good deals, but mostly Antique Shop prices.
Webfooters Post Card Club
We stopped by the Web Footers Post Card Club sale at the Kliever Armory. Post Card collecting is a fun little hobby. It's great for kids because it is inexpensive, small, and easy to display. When you go on little trips, let the kids pick up a couple of post cards. They can also practice their writing by thinking of their favorite part of the activity and writing it on the back of the cards.
IKEA
$1 cup of Swedish Meatballs, YUM!
