Kiana is in a total of 8 shows, #3 & 4 were today – We dropped her off early and hit a place called, “Toasters” for sandwiches, they were REALLY good. They sprinkled basalmic vinegar on the bread, really adds some zest! After her matinee, we headed up to “Backer’s Pastry Shop.” Charming!These cookies were beautiful (as their sign reads), I bought a “rocket ship” for KJ and a “santa” for Myla. As soon as we got home and I gave it to KJ he was blasting it off with sound effects all over the house!The cupcakes were scrumptious!Then we hit a strip of Antique stores (we met our antique store quota for the year.) Dusty found a few ancient “Root beers”
