day tripper

Yesterday I spent a wonderful afternoon in Thomasville, Georgia. Only 30 minutes outside of Tallahassee it's an easy and fun day trip. They have a wonderful downtown stretch full of boutiques, antique store, and cafes. I went and frequented all three and more. It's nice when you can get out of town for a leisurely afternoon and still return to your own bed in the same day. Of course I pulled my camera out to highlight my favorites of the day which included both places I dined at. And at the first cafe I ran into my friend and fellow blogger Ashley. She has a fabulous blog called Smitten Design. I just adore the name!

I hope to return soon to Thomasville and there's talk about us taking Mom up there for lunch next Saturday - so that kind of soon suits me just fine. If not, I am bound and determined to make it to the Thomasville Rose festival in April...and we all know how much I love a good feshtivuhl!

for lunch the sparkle goat cafe...I can spot a place like this a mile away!

I loved the decor and the food was even better

the number two with quinoa, a south american side. the tea was yummy too! I'm not big on tea in a bottle but this was a refreshing mix of honey, mint, and some other flavors that make up sweet leaf tea. on the bottle it says "homemade goodness in a bottle"...agreed.

I loved the use of all of the planters to display the names of stores, etc.

for supper jonah's fish & grits.

their specialty is shrimp and grits which you better believe I ordered!

but these might have been the most tasty thing I had all day - fried green tomatoes topped with feta, sundried tomatoes, and a balsamic drizzle. wow.
