Goodie Shop

We made a stop at the Goodie Shop. I had never been to this Upper Arlington bakery but am now trying to figure out ways to calculate it into my routes.

We were searching for a place to pick up a birthday treat for my mom (Happy 60th!!) on our way home from the doctor's office last week. Lo and behold, this little gem popped up. Tucked in the Tremont Center plaza, it is an old school bakery with decorated cookies, donuts, brownies, fruit cakes, and even chicken pot pies.

Eva enjoyed the free sample tray and is eager to revisit when there is less snow covering the kid-sized table on the patio area. I'll go back to try out the chicken pot pies (grab-and-go style in the freezer case) and I will make a mental note that this place has fruit cakes since I was recently discussing that I knew of no place that had fruit cakes any more. Noted.

Birthday joys

Hello, Birthday girl. 

Yesterday was my birthday. This was the first birthday with two little girls at home. It was also a Saturday, so I asked Keith if he would take me to breakfast.  We went to HangOverEasy on OSU's campus. I got the Corned Beef Hash which was perfect because it was definitely made from scratch and not from a can. I also had a mimosa because ... well, this place serves drinks. It wasn't really a mimosa. It was orange juice and hard cider. Delightful.

We then went to Mission Coffee to finish my coffee tour. The latte was oh-so-good and by finishing my coffee tour I was able to get my coffee tour shirt from the Experience Columbus visitor's center. Nice. 

Later, we ordered dinner from Carsonie's. My parents and brother joined us for dinner. 

This was a great day from start to finish. One that this birthday girl is thankful for.
