If I Could Spell “Spontaneity,” I Would Title This Post That
Last week my body decided it wanted to be sick. Not just the sniffles, either. I mean knock down, my room looks like a hamster wheel while trying to hit the snooze button, drag out sick. I called off of work for two days and I was going stir crazy by the time the weekend rolled around.
Sunday morning (afternoon, really) Laura and I decided to check out a little cafe down the street that we stumbled across while looking for something to do Saturday night. It was too crowded when we stopped in on Saturday so we put it on our to-do list for Sunday. We rolled in and got some coffee at about 2:30 or so and decided that we didn’t want to go home. We had the idea to get in the car and drive somewhere.
It’s about an hour and a half to drive from the Cleveland area to Columbus so we opted to head south and see where typing “Columbus, OH” into my GPS would take us. Wouldn’t you know it took us to downtown Columbus?
After we ran home for a bit, grabbed a bit to eat, and grabbed a few CDs worth of music to take with us we were on our way. We got to a random spot in downtown Columbus and decided to use the “find food” function on the GPS to find a cafe. We ended up finding a nice little coffee shop in the Germantown section of Columbus which was right next to a really nifty book store that was built into an old house that had been expanded. There were 32 rooms worth of books!
We grabbed some coffee, headed down the street to grab some yummy German food, then wandered into this book store. I’m not that much of a reader, but even I had a bookgasm when we walked in. We spent a good hour walking around in there. That’s saying something since neither of us is much of a shopper.
What I’m really trying to say is sometimes it’s good to plan things to do, but sometimes it’s good to just cut loose and go wherever the wind takes you. We didn’t know what we were going to be doing when we got in the car on Sunday but we ended up having a great time. What’s more special is we got to share some experiences together.
Things are better when you share them with somebody important to you.
