On Saturday I met up with friends for a graduation / early birthday / goodbye brunch!
Our plan was to go to The Broken Yolk - the most popular breakfast spot in Corvallis - but on a Saturday morning it was totally crowded.
So we improvised and got pastries from Great Harvest! They have delicious pasteries and bread. And it's hard to resist their endless samples... especially when they're given away by a 9-year-old :)
We took our pasteries across the street to the Willamette River waterfront. It runs right past downtown so it was perfect :)
The parade of dog-walkers, bikers, and Farmers' Market goers made for fun sightseeing as we enjoyed cinnamon rolls, muffins, and good conversation.
A little later we followed the crowd to the market and took in the colors, smells, and... samples :) Hah

Even though we wanted to take everything home, we headed out with just one thing: a gorgeous RHUBARB pie. But it needs a little explanation. Growing up, a lot of years I would ask for a rhubarb upside-down cake for my birthday cake (different, right? It's because my mom's are sooo good) So, we got a mini one to continue the tradition!
Here's a close-up of that baby:
On the way back the guys even got to help this family push their stalled-out car to the side of the road. Look at them go! :):)
