When i saw the post saying you were heading down south i was going to suggest you come by my stomping ground but got sidetracked and didn't comment. What a surprise to see you were in Farmington and Cherokee Pass area. That's where I live!!!!! Fred's is the bomb and you always find new stuff. We have so many antique shops in the area and beautiful parks to boot. I actually live in Ironton which is about a 20 minute drive from where you were at and we have some great stores here too. If you get a chance to come back down this way you have to check out Elephant Rocks State Park or Johnson Shut Inns the sight of them is awesome and very kid friendly. I'm really glad you enjoyed your trip to my neck of the woods and as the saying goes "you all come back now ya hear?"Nannasmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426461379471583000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-88032947991205672722012-07-19T22:47:27.493-04:002012-07-19T22:47:27.493-04:00Makes me want to visit the Midwest.
