In between going to performances of
The Marvelous Wonderettes, I went to Pella, Iowa with the Cornerstone Ladies group. :) It was the
annual trek up to Pella to see the beautiful tulips, buy the best pastries around, and just enjoy that lovely town. We had a great day, as expected. :)
 |
This is sort of funny... Lora was actually getting ready to pray before
we left on the trip. But it looks like she was getting ready
to start our drag race. :D |
 |
| Car #1 - Shonda, Lora, Tiffany, Laura |
 |
| Car #2 - Kathy, Cindi, Stephanie, Pam, and Marilyn |
 |
So, it wouldn't be a Cornerstone ladies trip without a "recalculating"
or a turn around... :D I'm trying to explain things to Car #2. :D |
First stop in Pella is always the thrift store. And yes, we found matching outfits again this year. :D ha!!!!
 |
| hahaha! |
 |
| We may have bought a few items at the thrift store... |
 |
| We got them all in! |
 |
| Now to downtown Pella. |
 |
| Lora, Laura, and Shonda standing in line at Jaarsma Bakery - totally worth the wait! |
 |
Tiffany got all of us in the picture together even though we were
in two different sections of the snaking line. :D |
 |
| You have to get a photo with the wooden shoes. :) |
 |
| :) |
 |
We couldn't get into any of the restaurants on the square - too busy.
So we walked over to Happy Joes Pizza for lunch. |
Then it was time to wander through the shops around the square and look at all the beautiful tulips in the park.
 |
| These little blue bikes for rent caught our eye. |
 |
| Even the rain didn't stop us! :) |
 |
| Time for a coffee warm-up at The Sanctuary. |
 |
| Nice way to end our day in Pella. |
 |
Poor Lora kept being 'attacked' by my seat belt in the car on the way
home. Shonda 'helped' her by taking her photo. :D |
