Adventures

I love when I get a great bargain! I have been searching craigslist (one of my favorite bargain places) for a new car seat for Lily. She has completely outgrown her infant car seat, and it's only a rear facing one, so I have been on the hunt for the next step up. So, my search led us to Easley, SC...only about 40 minutes from here. I got a great toddler car seat for $20. It looks brand new...and it's, yes, PINK! I just love a good find!  Now little Lily's legs can stretch out again, and no more facing backwards! We had lots of fun on the way there and back. It's funny how, with our GPS, we just get in the car and go. It was the most beautiful fall day today, and we love our road trips through the hills of the upstate! It's funny (and a bit scary) how we have no idea where we are headed, but we completely put our faith in Lori, our trusty GPS voice who leads the way. After getting the car seat, we found a roadside boiled peanut stand and got some plain for the boys and Cajun for Luis and I. Yum-o! Then, heading home, we stopped at the "famous" Jockey Lot in Williamston, S.C. It's a glorified flea market, and everyone tells Luis that we just have to go...so, we went. I felt like I was at a low budget NY state fair. (That sounded horrible!). They had everything you could imagine for sale...from feminine hygiene products to exotic snakes...very strange, actually. We stopped for a quick bite to eat at the taqueria (taco joint) in the middle of the place. Delicious tacos...I love that no matter where I am in the US, I can find a good taco somewhere...lol. They were just about to close up when we ordered, then Luis, with his "magnetic personality" brought several more people in to eat. What a fun day!
