Today I was grateful for spontaneity, which I rarely practice given my Type A tendencies. But every so often I can, and do, embrace it and am always pleasantly surprised at what happens when I allow it. Today was definitely one of those days.

We'll still have time for EMP" and off we went to search out BrickCon, which is awesome because Lego's are awesome. On our way to BrickCon we heard about another festival, the Northwest Tea Festival on the same grounds. That was another no brainer, we three love tea!

It was all so spontaneous and ended up being so much fun. Embracing spontaneity is good for this Type A heart.
