Sunday

Of course, it’s not truly a girl's trip unless brunch is involved. Sheldon Inn Restaurant and Flatland Brewing Company serve brunch exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays, drawing visitors and locals to their businesses every weekend. Jamie’s Cafe and Stagecoach Restaurant offer a more tradition brunch with menu items ranging from breakfast burgers and burritos to French toast and buttermilk pancakes.
