Our destination: Brenham, Texas
Our plan was to find items to decorate our new guest room with. We also have a few empty walls here and there that need stuff. Brenham is known for it's historic downtown and great antique shops.
I love antique shops! Not the kind filled with stuffy furniture. The yard sale kind that's filled with 100's of treasures. No two stores are alike and you never know what you'll find.
So first stop was a yummy lunch at a little eclectic cafe in downtown Brenham, the Funky Art Cafe. Paul had a Pumpkin Burger. It was a veggie burger made out of Pumpkin, Cilantro, Wild Rice, Jalapenos, and Corn. It was quite delicious.
My choice: Chicken and Spinach Enchilada Pie. It was a little casserole with Tortilla Chips, Chicken, Spinach, Sour Cream Sauce, and Monterrey Jack cheese. My oh my......that was some yummy stuff!
We both walked out of there full and eager to begin our shopping adventure!
We spent a couple of hours hunting through old books, old dishes, old furniture, and seeing "old" things that sparked memories of childhood. We didn't really end up with what we originally came for......but we did come with a couple of other unique items.
Paul wanted this stack of old Reader's Digest from the 70's.
And of course, no trip anywhere in the world is ever complete without stopping in a bookstore and picking out a few books (why do we keep buying books??????).
Some of the best paintings are not found on canvas......but on the side of a building.
We met up with our friend who owns the Domino's in Brenham and a quick stop to our most favorite dollar store in the world (that just happens to be in Brenham) and we were ready to head back home.
The evening was spent with a steak dinner and a movie. The movie location changed from going to the theater to stopping at Blockbuster and laying in bed watching (much better idea).
