It's the last week of July: the moving truck is packed; lots of stuff has been sold on craigslist as we continue to downsize; we've moved out of the basement apartment and are staying our final days with Dad & Mom Hawkins...time for one final date (coffee and a croissant in downtown Durham - just the two of us) before we depart.
Naturally, we had to go rub the Bull's nose and take a picture in front of 'Major', an iconic piece of the "Bull City", the name for Durham originally taken from Bull Durham Tobacco company.

Below, selecting a few delicious items from Loaf, one of my favorite newer bakeries downtown. They have a huge brick oven in the bakery that you can observe. And the most amazing gougère (peppery cheese puffs) - and they even sell Nanaimo bars!! Of course we got one of each of those, plus some yummy flatbreads to share with everyone else back at 1406. Fun fact: did you know we had homemade (by Mom) Nanaimo bars at our wedding reception in 2001?
