Doesn’t this look like a fun place?

 

                                  Do you remember this?

Fredericksburg, Texas.

I mentioned a couple of posts back about stopping off in Fredericksburg on our way home from Arizona.  We were going to just drive through and enjoy the scenery BUT THEN , we drove past this swap meet looking thing and HAD to stop.  It seemed to me that we stumbled across it on just the right weekend.  This isn’t just a store, this is Fredericksburg Trade Days and it only happens one weekend a month.  All of these business come for the weekend and they have their shops set up in old buildings and corners and all sorts of things.  If you love digging for treasures or just looking at vintage things, this is the place to be.  Our van was already filled to the brim, so shopping was out of the question for me.  Instead I pulled out my camera and enjoyed everything vintage and wimsy.

While I was busy taking photos, Drew was enjoying pushing Ady in the stroller and resting in the shade any chance he got.  He was being such a good  big brother taking care of his little sister.

Even Casey found something to do.

We plan to go back and stay for a couple of days around Christmas.  Last year Casey drove through during the holidays and said the lights were amazing.  We must check them out.  It should be a fun trip and maybe a new holiday tradition for us while we live in Texas.
