Trip to Fredericksburg

SO, some of my family was in town and we really wanted to go see them. So we drove the 2 hours to Fredericksburg, Texas to see them anticipating some fun. Fredericksburg, for those who don't live here, is a little German town that's very kitschy and touristy. For you Washingtonians, think Leavenworth without the piped in German accordion music, and WAY more beer. Walked around with my cousin, Tara, who helped me redesign my blog. Hence the reason I changed it. She's pretty much an artistic genius, so I don't question her, I just do what she told me to do. We did a little shopping and we stopped here---->

Pretty much I want to live in this store, it has everything you could possibly want when it comes to cooking, baking, eating, etc. I bought myself a few essentials.

<---------Pointed Offset Spatula, great for decorating cakes

<----------10X (Powdered Sugar) Shaker, for professional dusting

<-------A Pinch, a Smidge or a Dash? These are a gag...although sometimes our recipes do call for a pinch.









Later in the day, Frankie and her cousin Charlie (he's 6...actually he and Frankie are the same age difference and my sister and I) went to Mr. Gatti's pizza and played games and won tickets and she got some of these.

And while I was shopping I bought myself this card with a quote from Christopher Columbus. 

Sometimes you have to take a leap...sometimes life throws you halfway across the world. Sometimes you find something new and exciting and it changes everything.
