Chocolat

As I mentioned before, we went to the Chocolate Cafe for dessert this weekend, and I was reminded of the movie Chocolat. I haven't seen it in forever, but I remember it as being slightly odd, and delightful at the same time. How did you feel about it?

Spoiled Rotten

Did you have a nice Mother's Day weekend? Randy and Kalia spoiled me rotten! We have been living in the Indianapolis area for about nine months now, and haven't gotten around to exploring downtown - so they took me for lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was incredible! It wasn't really the food as much as the atmosphere that was so impressive. Our waitress told us that the one in Indianapolis used to be a shoe factory, and each restaurant location has its own unique history.

After lunch, we drove around and took pictures of Kalia and some of the architecture. There are so many beautiful Churches and buildings around here, and I was so excited to have my camera back from the repair shop, so I just had to use it! After our little photography session, we went to the Chocolate Cafe on the main circle in the middle of town. We split a delicious cheesecake, and had some dark chocolate drinks. The shop was adorable - decorated with vintage chocolate tins and posters. Lastly, we headed on to Massachusetts Avenue, where we found the best toy shop EVER! What did you do to celebrate the day?

The Flying Cupcake

Hello - I'm back! I hope you had a lovely week. We went to the Chicago area to see Grandma and Grandpa, and took Kalia to the Steel Beam Theatre for "Thumbelina". It was an adorable play, and she was so excited to get autographs and photos with the actors. We also went to The Flying Cupcake in Indianapolis, and it was just as wonderful as I imagined. It was decorated with vintage everything, and we had an overall fantastic experience. I can't wait to go back and try another flavor. If you're ever in the area, you MUST treat yourself to one of their fabulous cupcakes. I took some photos of my own, but will also share a few from the owner's flickr page - although they're a little Christmas-ey!


Don't you love the black and white awning against the wall color?


The decor just screamed vintage bakery, and it was absolutely charming.


It was so difficult to choose only one.


I heard they also serve ice cream in the summer!


It didn't take long to go from this -

to THIS! Deeeeeelicious!
