D'Bronx & Prospero's Explorations

Sean and I have been taking advantage of the amazing temperatures we've been having this week to go out and explore. These photos were taken of our lunch at D'Bronx and Prospero's Books. D'Bronx is kind of special for us because the first time I ever went was senior year of high school for AP Studio Art (and as you can see from the photos, you can write on the walls there. The photo of my name was what I wrote when we went in high school. You can even see my art teacher's name "Mrs. Cox".) And the first time Sean went was when we began dating. It was our first KC date! D'Bronx is always a treat

Prospero's was very interesting. I'd never been before and I know I'm going to get some crap for this but aside from the aesthetics of the place itself, it was kind of a bummer. All of the books were super boring and you could tell they don't really have a selection process, they just take anything. I expected rare and interesting finds, or even just old 1930s cookbooks or textbooks. Instead, there was just a lot of 1970s and 1980s romance novels and history books (in my opinion, there are no books that are bigger wastes of space than post-1930s/pre-2001 history or science books). Still, the building was very old and charismatic, so it was a successful exploring day, I believe.

I'm really wishing this weather keeps up because I've been loving every moment of it. School starts again on Tuesday and I am really not too anxious about it. The weather should be nice so walking won't be an issue and plus! I only have classes twice a week this semester! (They take up my whole day, but even so.) I'm honestly looking forward to getting classes started so summer can be here. Lots of great plans coming up!

I hope you all are enjoying the weather and season, where ever you are. What have you been up to? Any explorations?
