It was a wet day by any means. It rained all day. But we didn’t let that ruin our day. We relaxed in the morning. No tv, no radio, no sound but the rain outside. Reading the news with a cup of coffee on the couch with Sam next to some open windows surrounded by cats. Awesome start to the day.

After a few hours of that we cleaned up and headed to Chuppa’s Market. Chuppa’s Market is always a little indulgent. Pretzel Bread rolls. Butter Toffee Peanuts. Honey Peanut Butter made from scratch. A Caramel Popcorn Cob. And more. It’s a fun shopping experience for when you can’t make it to the West Side Market (especially since the West Side Market is closed on Sunday).

We then went to the Natural History Museum. I recently bought Sam and I a membership there. It rocks. I love it. They have an outdoor animal section that is all emergency rescues. The raccoons and otter sections are fantastic.

For some reason it was packed. We had to park far away and walk there… In a downpour. I loved it. Sam.. Not as much. But then I thought about how awesome it would be to see the otters in the rain. Sam and I became “those people” who had no common sense to stay out of the rain. It was a blast.

We returned to inside the museum to walk around all soaking wet. I don’t think anyone came within 5 feet of us if they could avoid it. After about forty minutes of wandering around the dampness and cool air got to us and it was time to leave.

A warm night of laundry and homemade Garlic Chicken Alfredo was a perfect night ender.
