Bicycles, Wine and Chocolate

Today was just great.  We woke up at 6:30, and got to the Boulder Farmer’s Market around 7:30.  Community Cycle held a bike sale, starting at 8am, and we helped get things setup, and then had an early pick on the bikes they were selling.  Kia got a Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike (because she’s such a fan of Brett Michaels, she said), and we got her dad a REI Novara.  Both are really nice bikes.

At the Farmer’s Market, I got Kia a potted iris and a pack of marshmallows made with agave nectar.  I got myself a strawberry plant.  :D  We picked up a bunch of seeds for the garden, too.  We also had breakfast at the Boulder Dushanbe Tea House.  It is such an amazing place, and their brunches are outstanding!  Not surprisingly, the also have an outrageously extensive tea menu (and three coffees).  I got the Ethiopian coffee and the Farmer’s Eggs.  Both were seriously excellent.  It was a marvelous meal in a setting of surreal beauty.

This afternoon, we were “chillaxin’ in da crib” when I got a notion to go to some chocolate shops.  I want to find a logo to use for the business, and chocolates and sweets seem like a good place to seek inspration.  The first place was impossible to find, so we gave up.  At the second place, I ended up getting an $11 box of chocolates, a wine tasting for Kia and I, 2 bottles of wine, and 2 bottles of port.  Then we got pizza.  Then we checked out another chocolate shop, but it was a big chain, so forget that.

Then we came home.  Today was a really good day.
