Day Trippin

Lane had the day off, so we decided to take advantage & make a little road trip to Corsicana. Why Corsicana you ask? I understand your concern. Well for one, it's only an hour drive. And the past 4 years we have traveled between Houston & Arlington countless times. And every time I thought to myself, "I want to check out the Russell Stover store & the Collin Street Bakery". So I finally got my wish. This trip was all about food. 

First stop, Collin Street Bakery. I forgot to get a picture of this place. They have tons of good stuff. We got cherry angel food cake, m&m cookies, lemon sugar cookies, white chocolate chip cookies & a chocolate covered praline...all of which were delicious.

Next stop, Russell Stover Candies. This place had so many different chocolates and candies, that I was a bit overwhelmed. When this happens, I usually end up getting one thing because I can't decide on anything. That was the case today, and I ended up with a raspberry truffle. Yum!

 Elliot picked out this wolf looking animal & of course my parents bought it for her. Lane & I both tried talking them out of it, but with no success.

 Third stop, Napolis. A long time ago, we met one of Lane's friends at this restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall, and I'm not sure how they stay in business because the space is so big & it's always empty. But the food is so so good! I got the baked ziti and I plan on recreating this dish at home one of these days.

Last stop, Dee's Place. This is the oldest continuous running soda fountain in Texas. I have a love for soda fountains. They're hard to come by, so whenever I find one I always go. This place was very cute, but at the same time could use a little tlc.

 Waiting for her treat.

 Oh boy a cherry soda! She really enjoyed it. I got a chocolate shake, which was ok. I wish it was a little thicker, but it still tasted good.

And that concludes our tour of Corsicana. It was a nice little day trip & now I can say I've been to those places.
