Shoes and Coffee and Old Town, Oh My!

Over the weekend my family and I spent some time in Old Town Leesburg. It was so beautiful outside, so we decided to meander our way through the historic buildings that are now filled with interesting shops and restaurants. One find I was most interested in was a cute cafe type eatery called Shoe Cup and Cork Club. Besides their yummy menu filled with sandwiches and delicious entrees, they happen to serve organic, free trade coffee and tea. Needless to say, I was excited. So, of course, I had to try a cup and, yes, buy some for my home. As I proceeded to drink my hot coffee on a day that probably beckoned for an iced one, I felt quite accomplished. Like slowly I'm making a difference for myself, for my family, and for the farmers. There seems to be many local restaurants catching the organic bug. I've actually done a search on Yelp, just to see, and I was very surprised as to how many places local to myself incorporate organic one way or another into their menus. What an exciting trend. So, here's to you, Shoe Cup and Cork Club, for adding to the blissfulness of my past weekend. By the way, my coffee was divine!



Have a Healthy Day,
