Weekend During the Week

We needed a little vacation. Just some time to get away from our normal day to day routine and rest. Spring break was our excuse, so I took a day off of work and we spent a couple nights in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is one of our favorite getaway spots for a couple reasons. 1. It's close enough to be ok with driving there. 2. It has many vegan options for food. So we go there to eat more or less. Which in my mind is the best part of vacations anyway.

Here are some moments that truly made our mid-week hiatus.

Indian lunch buffet at Banana Leaf. Amazing mostly vegan buffet, incredible appetizers, a delicious special vegan dessert, and best of all a staff so helpful in kind, it was like we were a guest in their home.


Walks on high street and perusing the little specialty shops while sipping delicious chocolate flavored tea.


Super cute shopping bags.


A Pattycake Bakery bag full of goodies to share at Cup O Joe.



Hot tea and a good read. Em, I think you would really like this book if you haven't read it already.


Cashew Cardamom Truffle.



Late night snack of a gluten free German Chocolate Cupcake. I Still don't believe it was
gluten free, it was so good.


Leisurely browsing through cookbooks.


It was a great couple of days. The most we have just relaxed in a long time. My trouble is
that I can't get enough of these times. When is the next trip?

I put off writing this post as it seems so trivial as it happened while the tragic events in Japan were going on. It really put some perspective on treasuring the moments we have. Things happen, for better or worse, in an instant.

Have a good week. May you treasure all those moments.
