Today we just had to get out of the house! We bought a book shortly after we were here called One Tank Trips, Off the Beaten Path.
It gives you ideas for day trips that will take a tank of gas to get there and back. Today we headed to Land O' Lakes to go to Famous Treasures Antiques.
Here's what the book says about it:
The exploring adventure begins even before you walk through the door. You'll find a 1928 Ford F-3 truck parked out front. It's the first one Coca-Cola purchased from the automaker. Everywhere you turn, something is sure to catch your eye. I was amazed at the variety of antique china, silverware and even old military uniforms. The discoveries here range in price from a buck or two all the way up to $100,000 for a rare Babe Ruth lobby card. They tell me it's the only one in existence.
So off we go, cooler packed, tank full of gas although this place is only about 25 miles away. Bob and I can spend hours in a place like this, though we rarely buy we like looking at "old" stuff.
It was an enjoyable drive as we hadn't been out in a few days unless you count a trip to the Hundred Dollar Store for groceries and even that is only a mile down the road.
We find our way and could see the treasures from the road as we neared. Right hand blinker on and Bob turns in. Then stops! The gate is closed. It's SUNDAY! They don't have hours on Sunday!
Oh well, it was a nice drive. We'll come back again,,,,,during the week.
