Happy Flip Flop Day!

To be honest, it's a little bittersweet writing this post. I usually spend Flip Flop Day with my family back in Erie and celebrating it here in Lancaster today just makes me miss home.

(This is where you ask what Flip Flop Day is)

What's Flip Flop Day, you ask? Let me explain.

Today I woke up expecting an average morning, eating my usual bagel with peanut butter and side of cereal. But Michael (my housemate slash person that Wes sometimes confuses me with) had something else in store. After getting to Bret and Betsy's house and eating some cereal, I heard about something magical happening today for a limited time only. Tropical Smoothie Cafe was giving away FREE SMOOTHIES to anyone wearing flip flops! Wow. What a fabulous idea. Michael had heard about this irresistible offer a few days prior.

After figuring out some logistical details (not everyone had flip flops so we had swap around), a handful of us walked downtown, following the rainbow that ended at Tropical Smoothie Cafe where a fruity pot of gold awaited. We arrived and got our free smoothie, surprised at its large size (strawberry banana if you were wondering). Then Danny and Caroline met up with us, just finishing their 7-mile run (one of the pair was significantly more drenched than the other -- no names will be mentioned. Let's just say their name starts with "D" and ends in "anny").

What a beautiful adventure to start the day. Props to Michael for the hot tip.
