Our trip was so much fun! I hated to leave but we will be back again soon!!!
If any of you have traveled recently with a child under 2 you will understand how a 4.5 hour drive took over 7 hours!
We had to stop a few times to let our princess walk/run for a while which was fine... I enjoy a great truck stop just the same as the next person! HOWEVER shortly after we crossed into Kentucky I started seeing signs for "FLEA LAND Kentucky's Largest Indoor Flea market" and if you know anything about me and where I come from you know that there is a gene I have that makes it physically impossible to keep driving past a new to me flea market... I come from a long line of flea market junkies, in fact my papa crabtree had a booth set up back home in West Virginia and as a kid I spent a lot of time there! I am also addicted to auctions but that is a whole different story!
Anyway, seen the Flea Land sign my eyes lit up with pure joy and Nora was starting to get cranky so we trucked the 22 miles to this joyful little land of wheelin' and dealin' and let our little darling "Valk" for a little while...
This place was AWESOME! very clean and tons of different booths! I didn't plan on buying anything and I actually didn't buy now one thing! JAMES however seen a rocking horse and he had to have it for Nora so he bought it! It is the prettiest rocking horse i've seen and its very special when a daddy picks a special present out for his daughter! (Picture below) It warmed my heart! So all in all this stop really made the trip home magical!
Moral of the story: Only magical things comes from stopping at a flea markets, so ALWAYS stop when you see a sign for a flea market you've never been to! :) Mom if you're reading this just go with the flow and stop the next time dad asks you to! you never know what you may find!!
