Dunkin Donuts is my favorite place to get coffee. No seriously. I like the coffee better than Starbucks. When I lived in Fredericksburg, there was a Dunkin' Donuts right up the road. I would swing in on my way home for Thanksgiving break, stop by on the way to the library before a long night of studying for graduate classes, or even pick up a cup of coffee or a latte just because!

Then I moved to Richmond a few years ago. The nearest Dunkin' Donuts was twenty minutes away.
Not convenient to say the least. It was so far out of the way, I started to only go get coffee when I visited my parents in New Jersey over breaks. I know, I know--driving five hours just to get a cup-of-joe is a little ridiculous. However, the twenty minutes to get it near my apartment made it not part of my daily or even weekly routine. It was in the opposite direction of where I needed to go most times I would leave my apartment. The Dunkin' Donuts near my parents house is literally three blocks away. Perfect for a morning (afternoon or evening) walk to get coffee.
Now, I live in Louisa. Well, technically I live in Bumpass--but that is a whole other story. The nearest Dunkin' Donuts is out by Lake Monticello--45 minutes away! I can't even tell you how many times I have thought about driving the hour and a half just to get that delicious cup of coffee. But then I would just have to make an entire meal out of it because by the time I get there, it would be lunch time!
Luckily for me, Chris' mom lives right around the corner, a mere three minute drive from Dunkin' Donuts. Perhaps I should make more visits to see my mother-in-law?
