fun field trip!

On my way to get my oil changed at Honda, this store caught my eye and I stopped in on the way home. It's totally a mom & pop kind of shop and for youngsters a bit older than most of ours, BUT a true gem hehehehe  In the back of the shop there is a sand pit that you dig for your gems and fill a bag for $5.  The owner will then sit with you and explain the gems you found.  My nephews are coming to visit this weekend and I thought it would be a lot of fun.  We won't be able to make it since they're closed on Sunday.

Don't let the website fool you - it's a small, but really cute place.

Re: fun field trip!

  • Oooh, the website says they have mounted taxidermy!  LOL!

    That looks like a neat place (other than the taxidermy).  I can see taking Helen there someday to dig in the sand pit.

    I have to say that I think you're the most adventursome person I know, Jess.  I probably have driven by places like that dozens of times and never thought to stop and look.

  • Oh my goodness, I totally drove past there today and was wondering if Brielle would like it or not. We were on our way to the Bouncezone though so I figured opting out of that was not an option with Brielle....

    This! I've driven by that place and never given it a second thought. Guess that's why I still say "I'm bored." :)

  • It only caught my attention b/c of my nephew's visit - he's 9 and obsessed with excavating.  :-)

  • That's so cute about the gems!!  I was a rock-obsessed kid, and we used to go digging for rocks at Mica Mountain in ME when I was little (found some tourmaline there!).  I would have died and gone to heaven if I'd gone to this store  :o).
