Day 4 &5, Idaho: Let's have a Tea Party!

It's FRIDAY!

Thank goodness, I am ready for the weekend.

Yesterday I had six school visits. It was kind of cool though because I had a before school visit at 7:30 am and then my next visit was at 9:30am. So between my first and second school I celebrated Halloween with a wonderful breakfast at Moe Joe's. My waitress was dressed up as a witch and was super sweet. It was kind of fun sitting in a "diner" and eating a delicious breakfast. It made me miss my dad though, my dad and I always go out for breakfast for father daughter dates. So I sent him a text and we are going to go out for breakfast on the next Saturday I get back. SA-WEET!

After my Halloween breakfast I started visiting all the schools. TONS of other admissions counselors were at the schools as well, which I like. I think it makes the visits less awkward. Especially LUNCH visits. Isn't it so awkward when you are by yourself staring down the students as they eat their lunch? Ha ha, that's why I like it when there are other schools there. Plus, Anna from Whitwoth was at Meridian High and she is so sweet. She caught a cold, poor thing. Meridian High was her last school and she asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her but I had three more schools to visit. Bummer! Next time Anna!

All the school visits went well and by 4:00pm my breakfast was digested and I was hungry again. I could not for the life of me decide what I wanted to eat. Italian? American? Mexican? Chinese? I sat in my hotel room just looking up surrounding restaurants. Still didn't help. After and hour of searching I got in my car and just decided to drive down the main roads looking for food. I kid you not, I drove for about 45 minutes in traffic only to end up across the street at Baja Fresh... Oh Travel season... Don't you guys hate it when you can't figure out what you want to eat? All food just kind of sounds unappealing...

Today went well. I only had five school visits and I got done at 2:00pm. I was at Cole Valley and when I was driving out of the parking lot I saw Tami's Tea Room. I thought to my self "No WAY! I have to see if it's open and have some afternoon tea!"  You guys, it WAS open and it WAS Amazing. First of all, adorable. Second, delicious teas it was so hard to choose. Third, relaxing.... It was a quite little tea room and I sat next to the window and read my book. There were two ladies in the same room and one of these ladies was 96 years old and her name was Bernice. Oh, Bernice... She is a FIRECRACKER. She expected her tea and dessert a certain way, very bossy, BUT soooo classy. She bought a new velvet hat with a HUGE feather stuck in it. I LOVE Bernice and I hope to have tea with her someday in Heaven.

After tea I walked around in the little shop that was attached to the building. They sell a TON of teas. So I spent $25 on a bunch of loose leaf teas and I am so excited to try them. I know some of you like tea so I will bring some into the office so we can try them together. I got a traditional Chai (Jared might like that), Pomegranate Oolong, Blood Orange Black tea, and an Apricot Black Tea (what Tami's is known for).  My sister got me a new loose leaf tea holder and I have been wanting to use it for such a long time and now I can! Let's have a tea party!

Now I am back in the hotel room and I am debating on whether or not to go see Ender's Game tonight or tomorrow. I also booked a massage for tomorrow, Because I deserve it! hahaha. No, I just have so much tension in my back and I thought "hey, I have an hour on a Saturday, why not?" I hope you all enjoy the weekend and hopefully my Idaho weekend will go well!

Miss you ALL!
