Vacation Day 5

Today we started the day off with a nice breakfast. Today it was Spring Herb Egg Strudel with sausage and fresh fruit. After that we were off to battle the rainy day. Our first stop was Bass Pro. After a run through we decided to go back through and pick up the items for purchase. Bass Pro proved to be an expensive stop. Cynical and I scored some nice The North Face wind breakers and I snaged several shirts. After we checked out and had taken our items to the car we went back inside to eat at Hemingway's. We all had the buffet and it was very good. There was fried catfish, cherry glazed ham, roast beef, smoked turkey, salad, several soups and sides to choose from. For desert I went with a little of all the choices. Bread pudding with rum sauce, apple cobbler, ambrosia and chocolate mousse. After we stuffed ourselves it was time to move on to a stop the ladies had planed. We stopped off at a yarn shop and Cynical and I looked over a used book store and a comic book store. When we left there we thought we might stop by the Springfield Tour Center and check to see if there was any information we might have missed about things to do. After visiting with the very friendly people at the center it was time to head to our next stop, a coffee shop. Cassil's coffee was one we had marked to check out so we stopped in to satisfy our caffeine cravings. Shortly after getting hopped up on our beverages of choice it was time to move on. With all the rain we decided to return back to our B&B and make plans for supper and make out a plans for our last day in Springfield.
