Field trip!

Today was the long-awaited fabulous knitting class field trip. Two of my knitting students, one of their friends, and I set off this morning to head to Decatur. Our driver is a Decatur native, so in addition to our yarn store destination we got the grand tour of the town; where she grew up, where her husband grew up, where they went to school, etc. Then we drove downtown and entered Enticements, a wonderful yarn shop in downtown Decatur. Two hours later, the four of us emerged with filled shop bags and lighter wallets. After a quick stop at Del's Popcorn Shop, where chocolate and other goodies were procured, we headed off to Monical's Pizza for a fabulous buffet lunch. After we had filled our plates and our stomachs it was decided that we needed to walk off some of the calories we had consumed, so off we headed to Hobby Lobby to buy still more yarn! After a stop at Sam's Club for some essential groceries and a quick trip through the Culver's drive-through for ice cream, we headed for home. At the end of the trip we all agreed that it had been a fabulous day, and we can't wait to do it again (once our wallets have recovered, of course!).
