We began with the plan to walk to, guess where? Yes, Cream & Sugar.

At the next corner, we had reached Washington Square. I am always impressed by Washington Square, it reminds me of how many beautiful places the are in our city.

We had a special treat at Cream & Sugar, our daughter Emmie met us for coffee. That made a nice treat even sweeter. It was a temptation to just have her drive us home, but we decided to press on and walk.
The walk home was hot, but thanks to my new hydration pack, I had cool water on the ready all the way. The pack holds two liters of water and I had read in the reviews if it was filled with ice and water, the water would stay cool. I had my doubts if that would be true in our weather, but it was. I finished the last of the water once we arrived at home and it was still nice and cool. The pack had room for everything I wanted to take and was very comfortable. In fact, it was more comfortable with this pack, weighing in at 12.5 pounds loaded, than I was with my older pack weighing 9 pounds loaded.
We continued our walk home with a little cloud cover to break up the sunshine. Even our "hot spot" wasn't as bad as it usually is. When we were less than a mile from home, a woman stuck her head out of the window and shouted to us, "Y'all do a great job of walking!" I don't remember ever seeing her before, but we sure appreciated the encouragement.
