Day 58 - A Home Show & La Cucina di Mamma

I had never been to a home show until today. Our good friend Scott works at Pella windows and was able to get us a couple of free tickets to the Johnson County Home Show. Quinn's parents were in town so they came with us and we met up with Quinn's brother and his family too (and they actually were handed a pair of tickets on their way in plus the kids all got in free so no one had to pay, which made it even better)

The show turned out to be pretty interesting. We have a huge list of projects we would like to accomplish and were able to talk with a handful of people. I think the most surprising was we discovered for a reasonable price we can get a new garage door (installation and everything included) - they are coming out to give us an estimate on Friday :)

Also, while walking around the different exhibits we noticed this funny 2-person jacket. So we decided to try it out (picture to follow). $120 was the asking price for one of these so as much as I liked being zipped up with Quinn we decided to pass ;)

Other Firsts: After the show we all headed strait to dinner. We went to this great little Italian restaurant, La Cucina di Mammma and it is also an Italian market during the day, Bella Napoli. Our table actually was right in the middle of the grocery area in front of the meat and cheese cases - yummy! I ordered one of the specials, fettuccine with a porcini mushroom cream sauce and it was delicious.

It was such a lovely day!
