Half Price Books and Dunn Brother's Coffee

Today my brothers and I ventured to Half Price books off of Metcalf. This is the closest one to our house and there was a very little chance of me getting lost. My brothers were good sports through this whole thing and ended up picking out a book for themselves. Mason got a car's activity book, while Cole bought two small chapter books. I had an armful of books that I look forward to reading (the list will be below). I spent under $50 for all of these books and a tin poster.

The trip gets better after I notice a local coffee shop next door. It is Dunn Bro Coffee. The menu was great and the prices were much cheaper than the Starbucks around the corner. Did I mention the employees? They were simply fantastic. You'll have to visit the place to know exactly what I mean. I bought the boys a Strawberry smoothie and myself a white chocolate frap.

I'll be a frequent costumer of both these places from now on.

I also purchased another book at Price Chopper. It is very cute and it is a present for a friend except I'm debating about keeping it for myself ;)
