Gallivanting

Gallivanting. 

To gallivant according to its definition means to "go around from one place to another on pursuit of pleasure or entertainment."

I propose that we all make more time for gallivanting in our lives in 2017. Some of my most memorable experiences all began by gallivanting. 

About a month ago Chuck and I did a little gallivanting in Historic Downtown Grapevine. We were totally unprepared and way under dressed for the cold snap that had hit that day, but we still had the best time. 

We ate lunch at Tolbert's Chili Parlor and their chili did not disappoint. Coupled with a grilled cheese sandwich it was the perfect combo for a cold December day. As we perused down Main Street we happened upon a quaint log cabin and a delightful Christmas display. It was the perfect opportunity for a photo op or two. 

We returned to our car and crossed over to the other side of Main in search of Redefined Coffee House. One of our friends' son works there and I had been meaning to check it out. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it and the cafe latte. It was some of the best tasting coffee I had ever drank. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting, and the coffee was actually served in a real cup. 

Although our adventure only lasted a few hours, taking the time to gallivant was really enjoyable. I'm looking forward to our next adventure.
