This weekend my parents came to town!
Now being a college student it is a very special thing when mom & dad make the long (or short) haul to your stomping grounds. You always want to take them to that new restaurant (because uhh it's good but I don't want to pay), you've made your grocery list a good 7 days in advanced ( I seriously switched to the mini travel toothpaste until my parents came),you've beeen trying to clean your apartment for a good 3 days to no success, and you've run your car to the bare minimum so your parents will have to fill it up. But secretly all of us college kids just missed our moms & dads so much we wouldn't mind just hanging in the hotel & getting hugged on a little bit.
Near College Station is a little town called Round Top where this HUGE antique show is. I'm not quite sure why I chose this over the outlet malls, but I sure got to take in a lot. It's amazing what people will buy for old things, small barbie toys, giant dragons, bear heads, old school coke machines, hand made trinkets, and home made food. Basically I think people buy just about anything with enough beer & friends around them and that's pretty much what we did!
Meet Aflac[not for sale]... my mom got on me for taking some pictures of him because "I'd scare him" and the woman came out and said "That's hookaay he rides on the back of a Harley Davidson that won't scare him one bit"
You thought I was kidding about the giant dragon didn't you...
Just some treasures these 2 strangers found (hint: if you are wanting to come to the antique show DON'T bring a rolly basket)
I just really loved this tents name, but then I really didn't want to buy anything because it creeped me out!
Also Texas Bluebonnets have bloomed early!! Look at these home owners beautiful front lawn!
All in all it was a weekend well spent, gotta love my parents & adventures.
Up next: Chillifest, Snook, TX no chilli needed!
