Happy Day Donuts

The other day, while I was out shopping with my beautiful Mother, I spotted a donut shop that had a grand opening sign up. What else was I suppose to do? I stopped in to check it out. 

Holy Amazingness is all I have to say! 

Happy Day Donuts is fabulous!

My first thought was that it was like Duck Donuts. If you haven't been to Duck Donuts and don't know what I'm talking about... they make their donuts fresh to order. They have a machine that just keeps popping them out so they are nice and fresh. However, these donuts are different from the ones you get at Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme.

For one, they are made to order. You can decide what kind of icing and what kind of toppings you want on each individual donut. Secondly, they are cake donuts... and oh so delicious.

Unlike Duck Donuts, Happy Day Donuts also provides a selection of gourmet donuts that they have ready for you to pick from. I'm not a big donut fan, but I'm pretty sure this place changed my mind. 

I highly recommend checking out Happy Day Donuts. 

They are located in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake across from Greenbrier Mall.

1580 Crossways Blvd to be exact. In the little strip right behind Cracker Barrel. 

However, make sure you pay attention to their hours, so you don't show up two hours after closing time... like I did last night.  

Sun - Thurs. 6am-6pm

Fri & Sat. 6am-9pm

You can check them out on facebook, twitter, or their website.

Now I will let the photos do the talking!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sadly, this day means absolutely nothing to me... seeing as how I'm not Irish in the slightest bit. Green was also not included in my wardrobe choices today, but if someone pinches me.. I'm punching them.

Anyways, while everyone was out drinking and having a good time this weekend.. I was spending some time down at the beach house. Rentals are starting to get booked, so it's time we get a few last minute things done to the house before the season starts. (By the way, if you want to rent it.. you can click this link. ) 

Every house down in the OBX has it's own individual name that the owners come up with. For us, we didn't come up with the name... our fantastic Realtor came up with it. Our beach house is named "Rowland With The Tide".  (Our last name is Rowland) While we were picking up our sign, the guys told us about a fantastic little place within walking distance to get the best burger on the beach. After looking up their menu and everything, Dad and I decided to walk on down to Art's Place for lunch. Let me tell you... Freaking Amazingness. Literally. Those guys weren't lying.. It was the best burger I've had on that beach. I stuck with a regular burger and my Dad ventured out and got a Carolina Burger. A Carolina Burger is a regular hamburger patty with chili and coleslaw on top. My Dad isn't really one for burgers... but he said he would definitely come back and have another one there. Not only does Art's Place have an amazing lunch menu, they have a fantastic breakfast menu as well. My Mom and I tried it out the following morning, since again, it was in walking distance. I got eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, and the home fries. It was absolutely amazing. So if you are ever down in the OBX, especially at our beach house, be sure to visit Art's Place for some fabulous food.. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Now for a little photo dump... Enjoy!!
