Sister, Sister Road Trip

Today (Sunday), Ashley and I took a Sister, Sister road trip. We decided to go out to Culpeper, Virginia. I chose to go to the 31st Annual Old Dominion Draft Horse and Mule Show. I thought it would be neat to get some pictures of show horses. Ashley looked up some antique shops on the web that we could visit too. We stopped off at the horse show first. Not a lot of people there. We had to watch where we walked. Lots of fresh poo all about. LOL We took some pictures of horses but Ashley was a little embarrassed at my camera. She said "It's all professional looking and big". (that's what she said) We later ended up in an area where a lot of professional photographers were and their camera's were bigger than mine. :) It was cool to see the horses. I got some great shots! :)






After the horse show, we plugged in the address to the GPS for Country Shoppes of Culpeper. Ashley found a few pieces of 'Beanie Babies'. No actually, that was the code word we used if one of us found the real items and then we would come running. LOL We were hunting for 'Pyrex'. The place was never ending. They had a cute sheepy, but I left him on the couch in his section. I don't think I need anymore sheepies right now. We did see a small barbie suitcase full of naked barbies dolls. Creepy!!! And one dealer sold old barbie and ken clothes still in the packages. When Ashley found her first piece of Pyrex she forgot to say beanie baby and she totally shrieked with excitement. It was pretty funny. Oh we also saw a guy with crazy cowboy boots on. If he goes into Walmart with those boots on he def needs to be put on peopleofwalmart.com. haha :)

After A's purchases we headed for downtown Culpeper to find a cute townie cafe. Ashley sorta laughed at my parrell parking. I hate to park like that cuz I get nervous. Am I too close to curb, too close to car etc. We found a place to park and went to the Frost Cafe. It was really cute!! We both got Triple decker BLT's with fries, and chocolate shakes. Yummo! :) Thanks again for lunch Ashley! :)



Then on the way back to the car we looked at some of the shops as we walked by them. We saw a shop called, The Cameleer. :) It was kinda like Ten thousand villages. We walked around inside. After that we went into a sewing shop called 145 Art & Design Studio. Kristen will totally love that store. It was very cute. Some things sold in there were handcrafted items made in Nepal. (I find Nepal interesting b/c my friend, Niraja is from there) The lady working in the store was nice but someone called her while we were looking around and she kept laughing and telling the person on the phone that it's like the wine flu (instead of swine) in the evenings around there. It was sorta funny but I think she might be a drunk. I hope she doesn't drink and sew at the same time. Her quilting might not be that good then. haha :) After all that we plugged the address in for one last antique shop that A wanted to visit. MinuteMan MiniMall. Let me just say one thing first. We should have realized why the place is called MINUTE MAN. As soon as you enter thru the front door a big whiff of cat urine hits your nostrils. So most people probably walk in and leave within 1 min. ahahaha A sign on the front door says not to leave the door opened or that kittens/cats will get out. Ummmm....ok??? So, either the teenage girls working there do not ever change the cat litter box or the cats just like to pee on all the antiques. I was getting a headache from the cat pee and A's throat was hurting. We quickly got thru the place but everytime we saw sections set up with carpet we figured cats peed on it. Ashley did manage to find a few pyrex pieces. She spent $10 on 4 or 5 items. She got a good deal. Very nice!! After that we headed home. We stopped at bloom and got some taco stuff and made tacos for dinner and watched 'Interview with the vampire' on the SyFy channel. :) It was a great weekend!! :)
