simple sunday

I love Sundays with no plans. It's so nice to have the time to clean, cook, shop, etc. One of my favorite things to do is peruse Trader Joe's for no real reason other than to discover new things which is just so much fun to do there! I found my new fave snack there today - fresh figs halved with a dollop of mascarpone cheese and topped with a sweet and spicy pecan. It may not look amazing, but if you like fig, you will love these. Snacking on these and flipping through a stack of magazines I had to catch up on made for a great cap to the weekend.

railroad park

The last few Sunday evenings have been spent at the McCormick Railroad Park in Scottsdale with Dave's family for their free concert series. At first I didn't know what to expect - but this park is seriously the coolest park I've ever been to. Lots and lots of families showed up for the concert and there are all kinds of activities for kids to take part in - train ride, carousel, playground, various exhibits, a snack shop that operates out of a caboose and Hartley's General Store with souvenirs and food. The music was great too!

Dave and I treated ourselves to some mint chocolate chip ice cream on a sugar cone this last time around.
