Since we haven't gone anywhere on a weekend in a while, we felt the need to get out and enjoy Saturday's "supposed to be sunny yet warmish" weather.
We ventured to Jefferson, Texas, where SmithCale tried to scare me with ghost stories about the haunted houses found there. It really is full of Americana, antiques, local restaurants and just good, old fashioned fun.
The picture of the bottom antique store is where I almost had a psychotic break. Just that very morning, we had cleared out our cupboards, closets and unused dishes and donated a trunk-full to GoodWill. And anyone who knows me, knows I don't like clutter and being in crowded places. I don't even go to Wal-Mart for that very reason (well and how they treat their employees, but that's another story). So the shear amount of stuff in this store made me very uneasy.
I realize I have problems.
Around noon we wandered into The Bakery
I had potato soup and cornbread, SmithCale had roast beef and cheese on Jalapeno Cheese bread. He was kind enough to share a bite, and it was cheesily delicious.
I love Texas and their horse and buggy rides.
You think they could use this stallion on their team?
We had been hearing about Enoch's Stomp for years. Lucky for us, it was conveniently located on the way back!
Someone has done some heavy-duty dirt work on this land. It literally reminded us of our days back in Wine County, California.
We were so surprised to find this hidden gem had won lots of awards! And also stoked to find out that the best grapes to grow in the south make sweet wines!! (Yus!)
See, I was there too.
During our tasting these super nice bikers came in for a glass of wine; awesome end to a great day!
