We slept in too late Saturday morning because we forgot to set our phones ahead an hour. Good thing the place I was excited about serves breakfast all day! There aren't a lot of places with vegan breakfast options, other than oatmeal, so I was so happy to go to Earth Friend's Cafe! I got a panini with vegan cream cheese, pecans, and strawberries. It was out of this world good!
They also serve San Pellegrino which I LOVE! We never keep it at home because I would drink 10 a day, but it is a fun treat when we're out. The blood orange is my favorite!
Travis got the EFC Breakfast Burrito with seitan and avacado and I forget what else. He was scarfing it too fast for me to get a good photo, but he said it was great. We'll definitely will be back next time we're in town. The breakfast was so good, I bet the sandwiches and wraps are good too!
We also found out that our
favorite store has a second location! And it happened to be the weekend of Lebowskifest! I wish we had known before, I would have planned to be in town at a time where we could have gone to some of the events!
We did get to see the Lebowski art show, as if I couldn't love this store any more! I would love to have that big painting in the middle. Isn't it amazing?
Or that wood burn portrait!
Travis lobbied hard for this Log Jammin' painting, but we are saving for our trip, so I said no.
I did come home with a shirt though. I probably have 12 shirts from their shop. They are all designed by local artists and screen printed in house and are amazing! I really wish there was a Nashville version of this shop.
And then, last but definitely not least! The whole reason we were in Kentucky! Travis' brother and his wife had a baby last week! Our first nephew! I have been so excited since they told us they were pregnant last December. How cool is it that I'm going to see this little dude grow up? We hung out with them for a few hours, I held him and tried not to freak out (I've only held two other babies in my LIFE) and we made Travis kiss him. We also took him to his first restaurant! He was very impressed by Mellow Mushroom, you can be sure.
Welcome to the world Ellis! We can't wait to come see you again!
We left in the early afternoon, listened to more Game of Thrones in the car, and got the pugs from our friend who was watching them for us. It was a whirlwind trip to be sure, but a great one.
Travis's wrap looks delightful and Ellis is so cute. How perfect is the name Ellis?

Congratulations on your new nephew! He's so cute! They are sooooo cuddly for the first few months. It's the best!
ReplyDeleteAre you a first time aunt, Rae?? It's a neat role....and also, Colonel Travis looks a little too natural in that photo ;)
ReplyDeletei am! and none of my close friends have kids, so it is the first baby that I know i'm going to see grow up and be around for the rest of my life. it's pretty exciting!
DeleteAw, your posts always remind to get out and explore more. Miss it, it's hard to drag the BF out. Congrats on the nephew, just took a niece and nephew to the beach today. I have two nieces and three nephews, the oldest will be 12 this year! They are scary markers of time, I say! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the paintings on the wall. Very cool. I would want them also.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nephew.

Big Lebowski art show? Are you serious? That is so rad. I love the Walter wooden art.
ReplyDeletethey have a whole weekend full of events! most of them focus around drinking though, and I'm not much of a drinker so I don't know if it would be that fun. but one year i really want to head up for the bowling night and costume contest!
DeleteBlood Orange is the B-E-S-T!
