Columbia, Missouri Oct. 15-18, 2015

Well Austin and I covered another state this passed weekend! We went down to Columbia, Missouri to visit our friend Ashley at Mizzou!

We got in pretty late on Thursday night and decided to just go to the downtown area to get some Chipotle (Mine and Aust's favorite) and call it an early night.

Friday morning we were woken up at 6:30am to the tornado sirens going off, I guess the fire department set them off on accident haha, but anyway we got up on Friday, had some breakfast then it was off to explore! We of course had to go to the downtown area to do some shopping! There were several super cute clothing shops, some Mizzou spirit stores and a couple home-ish stores :) I always love going to cities with cute downtown areas. We checked out Lakota Coffee downtown which Austin and Ashley really liked! Little too strong of coffee for someone like me who usually drinks their creamer with a little bit of coffee ;)
On our way home from shopping we went to a little hiking area which was super super pretty and had a great view


Friday night we went out to pizza at Shakespeare's Pizza..so so good. We also went to the Dan & Shay concert at the Blue Note. Super small venue but it was awesome because we got to be so close to the stage! Dan & Shay were so good live and also sang some rock songs which was really fun :) Shout out to Austin for coming with us and dealing with a bunch of screaming girls ;)

Day 2, Saturday we went hiking again! We went to Rock Bridge State Park for a few hours and it was so so pretty! All of the leaves were changing so it was perfect! The only downside was that the caves were closed for bat hibernation but it was still a fun day!

After hiking we went to Panera (our second favorite) and made a coffee stop. The rest of the day was a lazy day. We watched a couple movies and made some monster cookies!

We took off earlyish on Sunday and made a pit stop in Champaign to have a late lunch with Kayli, Jake, Hannah and John :) always so good to see them and stop at one of our favorite places :) and of course we stopped at Aroma Coffee before leaving, can't stop in Champaign without going there! ;)

We made it home a little after 7 I think on Sunday night and we were both EXHAUSTED, but of course were procrastinators and still had a little bit of homework to do, so that was fun.

On Thursday we will be heading out of town again for an overnight trip! Austin has a surprise planned for my birthday, so I have no idea where we are going or what we are doing, I'm sure it's going to be a great trip! :)
