Des Moines Farmer's Market

Its been a very busy week and sadly I haven't been on here very much. Usually I'm a maniac about getting on to post or read my favorite blogs. Its just been one hectic half week so far. This past weekend my best friend came to visit! Her name is Abby as well in case you are new here. We pretty much live in Abby Land and do ridiculous things and drink entirely too much coffee when we're together. Since we were already planning on going to Des Moines for her nephew's birthday party at the one and only Chuck E. Cheese, we decided it was time to hit up the farmer's market.  After a night of shenanigans in good ol' Ames Iowa we woke up at the crack of dawn to venture on to the market. We LOVED it. It was so much bigger than I thought it would be. So.many.farms. How do you choose?! We, of course, had to find coffee asap when we go there. I suggested Java Joes which is conveniently in the middle of where the market is. SCORE. Then we wandered around checking out each stand. We ended up eating breakfast which consisted of a shared parfait and croissant. YUM. We left with strawberries, snap peas, cinnamon cashews, and beer bacon bread! We also hit up the Des Moines Art Festival. Des Moines is a lovely city, if you're ever passing through go ahead and stop. You won't regret it.
