BAM starts with a bike!
WARNING- There are ALOT of pics in this post! Get ready!!
So this week Mike and I went on our 1st BAM adventure! We decided to take the day and go up and explore Geneva, IL. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We had the most magical, beautiful day! The sun was shining and the people were beaming with happiness. It felt like we stepped into an old, little village straight out of a movie. The town had such character and charm and almost all the shops had these cool artsy bikes on display. These weren't your typical, run of the mill bikes; each bike had flare and pizazz! We found A LOT, so scroll right through some of my favs below!!
Next, we decided to enter the world of Cajun food and visited The Patten House. This place had so much history!! It was an old mansion converted into a restaurant. I can't put into words how amazing the decor was, each room was different, each table was different, there were couches, big chairs, small chairs, tables for two and tables for eight. Good food, and definitely on the pricier side, but worth the experience. The star of my meal was the Avocado Mashed Potatoes. YES, YOU HEARD ME... AVOCADO MASHED POTATOES!! Two of my favorite things, and put together? Seriously, so good. I am going to try and make them so stay tuned for that post! In the meantime, enjoy the food pics below...
After that VERY big lunch we headed out to do some shopping, my other fav, hehe. The shops were beyond cute, filled with vintage treasures, antiques, and a little touch of new! We even stumbled upon a designer thrift store that had the most amazing, vintage Louis V trunk! It was love at first sight, but unfortunately it was already sold. Needless to say I gave the lady my number to keep me posted on her newest, vintage, designer finds!! I'll share any news, of course ;)
