"Stay-cation"

We took our first 2010 Hall Family "Stay-cation" this weekend.

We wanted to go somewhere we had never been. Somewhere we could have a real cultural experience. We wanted to get outside of our comfort zone and try new things. SO, we headed down south to get ourselves of some good 'ol fashioned southern comfort food.

Our destination comes highly recommended.

This old country store comes chuck full of:
fun, food, wonderment, bric-a-bracs, curious folks, antique decor, and old time candy.

The girls dined on mac-n-cheese, chicken fingers, steak fries and were excited to see the special dessert: Chocolate Coca~Cola cake

Here's what you get when you ask for a light vinaigrette for your salad-do it yourself oil and vinegar (hmmm is that malt vinegar-why yes, yes it is)

Where else can you find a life size jawbreaker on a stick?

Or a bag of Chick-O-Sticks?

If you do go be sure to order the 1/2 LB hamburger with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, smothered in ranch dressing without a bun found on their low-carb menu. Jim recommends the trout and the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw was pretty tasty. Needless to say, we left feeling extremely comforted! We had such a fabulous time that the girls have already asked if we could do it again-

We'll see kids, we'll see. You know what they say about getting too much of a good thing . . .
