Full Moon Paddle

On Sunday my roommate and I went on a Full Moon Paddle at Stroud’s Run State Park with Mimi Morrison from Touch the Earth Adventures.  Touch the Earth Adventures is an outdoor adventure experience created to inspire people to be in touch with the Earth through all sorts of outdoor pursuits.  A Full Moon Paddle is a kayak adventure out on Dow Lake from sunset until about 10pm.

During the paddle you get to see the sunset, stars, and an awesome view of the full moon.  We loved it so much we are already talking about going back to Stroud’s to rent kayaks during the day sometime.  The paddle was so relaxing and I got to see so many new areas of the lake.  It also happened to be a “supermoon” this weekend, which is when the moon is at its closest point to Earth during the year.  At first it was a little discouraging because it ended up clouding up a bit,  but after a short wait the sky cleared up and we got to watch the moon rise over the lake which was pretty amazing. 

Sorry this post is short on pictures, I was a little worried I might tip! :)

A Decade for Donkey

This week marks the 10th anniversary for local coffee shop, Donkey Coffee and Espresso. Donkey has been celebrating all week by offering special deals to customers on drinks and treats.  I know it is already Thursday, but you can still join the celebration and take advantage of today and Friday's special. Along with its 10th anniversary, Donkey is also celebrating the opening of a newly renovated outdoor patio upstairs. It is the perfect place to relax and have coffee with a friend or hit the books.

  Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffin....so good!
