What started out as a crummy bum day (and if you've ever had a crummy bum you know how bad it is) turned out to be kinda fun. We decided to follow the promptings of the song and just go downtown. I love downtown New Bern. When we first moved here I remember going to Stake Conference downtown and saying to Jeebs, "this is like those cool little tourist towns you get to visit every once in a while and now we get to live here!" I have always wanted to just walk around downtown and go into some of the shops or just window shop. Everybody has been talking about going around finding the bears. There are a bunch of painted bears downtown and all over the city. You go find the bears, answer questions about them and when you find a certain number of bears you get free stuff at a few businesses. So- I googled it and figured out where to get a questionnaire and a map. We picked up our map and our questions and we were off! Whoever thought of it; genius. We were out getting exercise- reading, writing, and even shopping! I ended up only buying some water and black licorice for Jeebs which Taylor broke into later and pulled out her filling. So after the a/c in the car acting funny, the dishwasher clogging up, the washing machine pooping out and Taylor losing her filling- I made hotdog fried rice for dinner with canned pineapple on the side. It was actually dang good.
