Different isn't Wrong

As most of you know, I'm not one with a very diverse palette (translated = I don't try different foods). If given the option, I'll almost always go for the tried and true choice, something I've had before. Last Saturday night, I didn't have that choice. Some friends of mine were going to a Thai restaurant and I really wanted to get out and hang out, so I went along. My real strategy was to convince someone among the group to deflect with me to a more ordinary restaurant but alas, everyone was determined to eat Thai cuisine. So I gave into the peer pressure and shared a Thai sweet and sour chicken plate with a friend. To my genuine surprise, it was delicious! The chicken was moist, the vegitables fresh, and, to top it off, the sauce was perfectly sweet. I'm officially addicted now!

Yummy, yummy!

To attempt to add some meangingful value to this post, I'll quote a common theme I'm discovering in this phase of life: "Different isn't wrong, it's just different." When you try the "different", you might discover that it's better than you expected,  or maybe even better than the "same" thing you've been stuck on for forever.


Experience something different today, just for the sake of stretching you out of your comfort zone. You never know what you may find!

Friends at the Thai Diner Too!
Apparently, it's trendy to take pics while eating?!

Colonial Williamsburg

I was that little girl that LOVED playing dress up. Of course, my costumes of choice were Colonial dresses. So, I've wanted to visit Colonial Williamsburg ever since I knew the place existed. And a few weekends ago, I finally got to go!

The entire adventure was immersed in period dress, buildings, speech, manner of life, etc. It was like we literally stepped back into time. As we toured, one of our first stops was the Governor's Palace. A man dressed as a servant/butler to the governor gave us a tour of the mansion. The entire tour he acted as if we were servants about to start working to clean for the governor's party that evening.

You'd better be on your best behavior in Williamsburg,
 otherwise you'll be punished.

Great lunch with sweet friends!

One could probably spend days seeing all the sights, watching all the reinactments, and browsing the gift shops, but we tried to squeeze as much as we could into one free Saturday. We had a great, full day! So glad we got to go and can't wait til I can go again!
