Road Trip

The shop was closed today so we took a road trip. Mom wanted to head over to Shelton so she could pick up a spinning wheel. We loaded up the kids and headed on down the road. We made a few stops along the way at some yarn shops of all things. We stopped at Yorkshire Yarns in Lakewood - Sonya is so nice. We really enjoyed meeting her and seeing her beautiful new shop. We headed over the bridge and ventured into Allyn. We stopped at Allyn Knits - what a surprise that was - in a good way. Here is this cute little town that is so small if you blink you will miss it - tucked right on in there is this wonderful yarn shop. Because we own a yarn shop you would think that visiting others wouldn't be too high on our list of things to do when we are off - NOT TRUE!! It was really great to meet these ladies and share bits of knowledge. Of course we invited both ladies to stop by our shop if they are ever in Burien - I hope they do.

After a few missed turns we finally found our destination. Mom picked up the wheel and the kids got to feed the miniature horses and see the chickens.

When we left Shelton we decided to try to hit Shipwreck Beads on our way back. What a huge place that is! We didn't get to explore too much because the kids were basically "done". To bad - I noticed they had a coffee stand in there - you really could stay all day and never see everything.

P.S. - My sister finally measured her foot - thanks Squirt
