Seventh Day of Gratitude - Sunday Morning at Panera

More often than not, we wake up early enough on Sunday mornings to make it to Panera Bread for breakfast before church. It is commonplace enough for the kids now that they get the routine of it and it makes it even more pleasant for me and Ross. They have a book or something to look at so that we can linger a little longer after we eat and just enjoy our coffee and each other. Not quite a tradition, but definitely something that we all look forward to and enjoy. Not so long ago, eating out in any situation was just stressful and hurried... so today I am thankful for the calm, slow pace of our Sunday Morning at Panera...

love the idea of this. what time does your church start? even with our "extra hour" this morning, leaving by 8:15am for church was still a struggle.
i do appreciate now how much more relaxing meals out can be--for that i, too, am grateful. :)

I left you a little note over on flickr on this. I miss Panera and love this non-tradition tradition :)
