Morning Eats
This breakfast spot is a must stop. It's a family owned business and the owners are super nice. Their iced lattes are the best in town. The owners are friendly and go out of their way to make your visit special. They always remember our names and make sure you are taken care of. All coffees are served with a biscuit which reminds me of the Dutch hospitality. In addition to the yummy coffee, they have delicious food that never disappoints.
You can order online directly on their website or head in to order there. They are usually fairly quick and the food is always fresh and hot. There are a couple of outdoor tables so you can enjoy your coffee al fresco on a beautiful day.

Sailing Through The Winter Solstice
Every year Carroll Creek Park is filled with individually designed lighted sailboats. This floating light installation sets sail in November and is on display through March.
You can view the boats anytime day or night. In fact, you may want to take a look while it's light out and again after it gets dark and the lights come on. Lights typically turn on at sunset, so this is a great time to see them both ways.
Sailing Through the Winter Solstice is a fundraiser - visitors can vote on their favorite boat, with donations supporting local non-profit organizations.
