Just a bunch of crazy women out to spend their husbands money.
This is "Anne" she was a little to scray to have in the room where we slept (we were a little scared of her)

Me, just taking a rest as the truckers pass.Well I am back from the trip that I was so looking forward to and needed. A few girlfriends and I packed our bags, left the kids and husbands to fend for themselves and headed to the great state of shopping, oh I mean Texas. We had a blast it was so much fun and I had the most amazing time with friends. We started off our adventure at 5:OOam Thursday morning and headed into Oklahoma (sorry for the people of that State there was not much to see) We scaled the Oklahoma sign, got stuck doing that but the honks from the truckers was very encouraging. We arrived in Amarillo and decided to take the scenic route around there, in fact we loved it so much Tracy thought we should drive around for 1 1/2 hours. Let's just say that hwy 287 and hwy 40 is in need of very clear road signage. We finally arrived to our destination of Canton Texas the Best Flea Market ever at midnight. The Next morning we were all set to brace the heat and spend some money (thanks Ken for the dough). We shopped our hearts out and then some. Then on Saturday we headed into Dallas and went to shoppers paradise "inside", I love Sam Moons. That place is crazy! I have never seen so many women snatching up purses, jewelry, hats and more. We spent hours in there squeezing around women. It was worth every little penny. Then we went to JonnyB's and meet Julio who gave us discounted lunch because we are cute. Lets all give a big shout out to Julio.
We did nothing but shop, laugh, cry, shop some more and then sleep for a few hours and then shop some more. Can you tell why we left the husbands and kids at home?
I have told Ken that I am saving my money and we are going back next year with a U-haul trailer.

Amen sister!!! Sorry I got us soooo lost. Oh well, it was a BLAST and I can't wait until next year.
Jen,
I found your blog through some other blogs (you know how that goes). Anyway, I can't believe you came all the way to Texas and didn't even let any of us old Canton shoppers know! Remember that funny bed and breakfast with the scary stories and the thunder storms. That was a good time. Well I'm glad your friends in CO got a taste of Canton.

Jen you totally rock! You've become more than a friend your a sister. Thanks for being our officialy "fun" guide to Texas!
How fun Jen! One of the blogs I visit regularly from Texas talks about Canton all the time. She actually works at one of the shops.... PS Don't forget you have Oklahoma roots (G-PA)...........
love ya
Jen, you are the funniest girl ever! I love picture with you and all your friends.
Juilo loves me... don't feel bad! ha ha ha ha, I can't belive you didn't write about that guy!! We should have got out of the van and got a group pic. with him. Owell, I bet he'll be in the same place next year, we'll get one then! :) We are HOT in that picture! I love it!! (so does Julio)
I'm so glad you guys had such a great time. I know you've been planning that trip for a long time. I can't wait to see what you bought.
Ok...So not fair, I can't even think who I would roadtrip with, so great that you have those kind of gals to hang with. Wish you were near, it would be a blast! Who was the instigator??? Looks like you had a blast!
So jealous I missed this! Glad you all had a wonderful time! I can't wait to see how you refinish that little table.
A shopping vacation...now that's what I'm talking about! What fun!!
ROAD TRIP!!! I love that you have girlfriends to do that with. I wish I was closer to tag along in the fun! I still can't believe you all left your kids with the hubby's and left town - you are crazy!
Congrats on getting away! I'd love to do something like that but things are better now that the boys are in school. That doll was scary looking like something from a horror film.
ok, that looks like a SUPER fun trip! never been to canton yet...
Looks like you had a lot of fun. I haven't been to Canton yet. It seems like it would be fun--for girls anyway.;) I wish we could have seen you guys!
Hey Jen..I love this...How fun would that be. We always have girls night out, but a full on road trip.....I'm jealous!! I Have a friend who ALMOST moved to Oaklahoma and just found out Yesterday that she wasn't. I'll tell her she shouldn't be sad about it!!! I just went out with my hubby, but next time it will for sure just be me and the girls!!!
Jen,
YOU ARE AMAZING! I can't believe you just up and left Ken & the girls at home. I guess he travels lots, why not join in the excitement!
Maybe us California gals should plan a road trip to Colorado. :) Hmmmmm... I like that idea.
Thanks for sharing your really cool journeys!
Love ya lots!
