Recently, April and I ventured back to Waxahachie (south of Dallas) in order to experience the Gingerbread Trail Festival. There was an arts & crafts area in a park (I bought a really cool ring), tours of beautiful old homes (we trekked through all of them), the shops on 'the square' (we went to a few) and courthouse tours (we got there too late and missed them!).
After the craft area, we drove one-by-one to all of the big old houses on the Gingerbread Trail tours.
At the first house, there was a big line to get in.......so April took my picture by the Gingerbread Trail sign.......and I took her picture trying to 'snack' on the OTHER Gingerbread sign!
Outside of this first house, they had this super cool old car - it fit with the beautiful old house. It was like stepping back in time.....
After we made it into downtown, we saw this awesome old fire truck from the Waxahachie Fire Department.
We ate lunch at a small restaurant that had FABULOUS signs on the walls! Some were really "Texas"y, some were sarcastic - there were all kinds. I thought this Abilene one was cool...
And this one was awesome - making fun of Dallas just 35 miles south of Dallas! Oh well - Fort Worth makes fun of Dallas too. I suppose there are rivalries everywhere!
