It's been awhile since I last wrote... I have been keeping really busy this summer and have a lot to write about!  My sister was home from Texas visiting, so I spent some time with my mom and my sister, which, to me, is the perfect girl's getaway!  We did a little bit of everything... shopping, eating, drinking and more shopping!

On this particular day we spent our time downtown checking out the shops and a few new places that have opened since my sister moved to Texas.  We had lunch at Harmony Corner Cafe, which is a new restaurant that just recently opened.  They have a really nice, casual atmosphere and great food.  I had the chicken salad croissant and chai tea and they were both so good!  My mom and sister had the Harmony Corner Salad and Harmony Corner Panini, respectively.  And while I didn't try either, they both said they were excellent!

After lunch we took our drinks to go and wandered around downtown, people watching and window shopping.  A favorite store of mine is Cadeaux Gift Shop, so we spent some time there checking out the cool merchandise.

Shopping definitely makes a girl thirsty, so we went to Stella's Red Room and a had a glass of wine on the patio before walking across the street to Phoenix Park for the Volume One Sounds Like Summer Concert Series.  Phoenix Park has a great outdoor concert area right on the Chippewa River, it is an awesome location to watch the sunset and take in some great local music.  It was a beautiful day and the company was great... what a wonderful way to spend a summer day in Eau Claire.
