For our birthdays, my sister and I usually give each other a "birthday outing." Last summer she took me to the Hershey Gardens to tour and then to the Hershey Hotel for lunch. This past winter we went thrift shopping for the day with lunch at the Red Brick Tea House & Bakery for her birthday. We both love this "girl time" as we get to spend some fun one-on-one time together admist our busy lives.
This year being no exception, we spent last Saturday in the quaint little town of Lititz. For lunch Jen treated me to the Cafe Chocolate - a fun, little place where we sat in the window and dined on Fresh Strawberry Coolers with strawberry puree and sparkling water, Hickory-Smoked Chicken braised in apple cider, Couscous with raisins and apricots, House Salad with chocolate-raspberrry balsamic dressing, and Sunshine Crepes stuffed with fresh fruit and drizzled with chocolate - what a treat! You can see www.chocolatelititz.com for their complete, delicious and adventuresome menu!
After lunch we walked the main street of Lititz and visited in little shops with names like: The Lilypad, Anthropologie, and The Sassy Tassel. Biscotti from one of the tea rooms eaten on the ride home finished a sweet day -
And because of my sister's generous heart, not only did I enjoy my "birthday outing," but this lovely gift basket that she made up full of flowers, chocolate, tea, bath salts, linen napkins and a green tea candle. She spoils me rotten -
