16/365: A happy place

One of my many happy places is Panera Bread.  It is the perfect hangout.  I have been there by myself, with a group, with children in tow and without, and to meet for serious conversations or just to catch up with a friend.  It is great. They serve yummy sandwiches on delicious bread as well as other baked goods. I like to get the 1/2 soup and 1/2 sandwich (or 1/2 salad) with the option of an apple or chips or a baguette, it is the best.  It is fast and delicious and a healthier choice than many places and leaves you feeling full without feeling horrendous!  The service is fast and even if you want a cup of coffee and something sweet but whomever you are meeting there is more thinking of an iced tea and something salty, you will both be happy.  You can come in and stay for hours uninterrupted, or you can buzz in, eat, and buzz out if you need to. I look forward to my next visit!
