THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS...
SPRING TX
Geocaching...
Here is our log from today's find:
November 1 by hardings (1202 found)
What a great cache! We had a really good time with this one. It was a great day outside and I took the littlest one to the park here. We played on the slides, then walked around the softball tournament going on, watched part of a game on a shady bench, then walked along looking at tractors and surreptiously snuck in to find the cache. I was worried about the bushwacking mentioned on previous logs but it is only the last ten feet or so, just enough to see the little one on the trail while I grabbed it and brought it out for us. Make sure to check out all areas of this cache - there was great surpises everywhere. We didn't trade swag, but there is lots to choose from. We left three TBs in exchange for two TBs and a coin. Awesome cache, everyone should check this one out!
Lunch at Anthonie's Deli,
which is apparently so far under the radar that it has no internet presence, which surprises me, since it boosts a hookah bar, which is unique. They say on their food wrappers they are the "world's greatest po'boys" but, let's be realistic here, they are just the best in Spring, TX. There aren't even any reviews of their food online, but it is a great mom and pop greek deli. They sell foreign canned/pickled foods on shelves lining one wall, and have a cold display of cold po'boy sandwiches, with a wide variety of warm possibilities - a meatball, a fried catfish, crab, etc - but also have falafel and shawarma on the menu. Signs outside boast of their gyros. They sell single orders of tabouli and pasta salad, and I can never pass up stuffed grape leaves, two per sandwich bag, out with the olives and hummus.

Shopping at HEB,

which is our favorite store in Spring. There is always an employee giving out balloons at the door, with little plastic weights on them so they won't blow away. There are free samples at every turn, and I have learned to look for that week's buy this-get that free at the cheese and meat intersection. The produce is the freshest and we love the bulk foods section. Today I bought some HEB Cafe Ole coffee, in a "Houston Blend" and "Snickernut Cookie" flavor.

We had such a good time! Now on to ghost hunting this evening...
