- Shopping in the open air...there's something Euro-Romantic about buying vegetables and fresh herbs with the sun shining on your back.
- People watching! Who knew Green Bay had such diversity?
- Admiring the creativity of others. Like my friend Bethany who started her own little biz, Larky Park. Check them out!
- Memories with my son. He loved getting fresh root beer from one of the local breweries. He was a sticky mess afterwards, though!
- The colors! I loved seeing the piles of tomatoes, carrots, green beans, blueberries, raspberries, bi-color sweet corn....ah. It was a festival for the eyes.
- Yummy treats. Like, fresh spring rolls from the Thai restaurant, or fresh sliced/fried potato chips, kettle corn, smoothies. Delish.
- Walking in the local Broadway shops. I never take the time to go downtown to peruse the boutiques there, and it was neat to see what they look like on the inside! Unique stuff.
- Meeting up with DH for a family affair. He works only a few miles down Broadway, so it's a great place to meet him on a Wednesday evening.
- Bartering. I love negotiating. In my mind, open-air markets welcome a little bantering before buying. It gets my juices flowing.
- Arriving home with my fresh purchases and challenging myself to a little creativity of my own. Now, what will I do with this large bunch of Sweet Basil I bought for only $1.00? Pesto, Bruschetta, Spaghetti sauce...? The opportunities await.
