I didn't think there'd be many garage sales the day after fireworks, but Carrie found a multi-family one online.
It was farther away, but why not? The weather was great, and an adventure is an adventure, right?
The neighborhood turned out to be a re-purposed military base. Carrie noticed right away.
"You see that? That would be the parade grounds." It was a sports field by a field.
"That would have been the commandant's office." It still looked commandanty.
"That would've been where the PX was." I think it was now a school.
The area had a neat feel to it.
Carrie got to play American Picker. She bargained for a cabinet to refinish...
...and a coat of arms, just because!
It would've been too long a journey to come home completely empty handed. Shane got a toy dinosaur for a couple of bucks.
We drove into downtown Warrenton to look around afterwards. It was a neat looking main street. We wandered around before stopping for lunch.
Shane practiced his photography skills while Carrie and I took our turn eating.
Shane doesn't look very enthusiastic in the photo, but he loved Carrie's monte cristo.
On the way home we stopped at a Wawa (sweet!) and again at the farm.
The animals are free to look at, but Carrie had a bunch of change for goat feed.
It was a good way to break up a slightly longer drive into easy chunks.
Shane must have been worn out. He took a three hour nap! I woke him up to go visit Nana, Pop, Jama, and Indy. We all went to the park. Shane played on the playground, Carrie beat me at mini-golf (again), and then we all went by a pond to feed the fish and turtles.
Sunday is going to need to be a day of rest! We've been busy this summer!
