Magic Valley ~ Part Two

Twin Falls has a lovely downtown.  The streets are quiet and lined with fun shops.

Mom ~ don't get mad, but I think this picture is a keeper!  :)
This is her "can we just go in the quilt store and stop taking pictures" look.

Stitchin' Time was our first stop.  It's a fairly small store, but they had some
pretty awesome fabrics and made-up quilts.

As we came out of the store, we happened to look next door.  I wouldn't call
"Girlfriends" just a scrapbook store.  The decor is awesome, there are tons of examples made up,and the selection is amazing.  If you scrapbook and are ever in Twin Falls, you MUST make time for this store!

This is their front counter.  There's also a door on top, with a layer of glass covering it.  Wouldn't this be fabulous as a crafting counter with a high stool?

We kinda accidently spent a couple of hours here.  We realized it had been quite a while
when our stomachs started growling.  :)

The next day, we headed to Rupert to visit "The Gathering Place." 
They had the largest selection of quality fabric I've ever seen.  Mom and I decided that this would be our annual Fall trip, and we're going to start saving for our next visit to this store now.

On the way out of town, we stopped at a place called "Spinners."  It's in an older Dairy Queen building and doesn't look that exciting on the outside.  The inside is decorated with all kinds of bike stuff, and the food?  Oh my!

I had a philly with freshly made sweet potatoe chips, and Mom had a turkey/cranberry sandwich on dark rye bread with the same chips.  The fry sauce was amazing...it either had liquid smoke or BBQ sauce in it.  We were so stuffed from our lunch that we didn't have to eat the rest of the day!

On the way out of Twin Falls, we stopped at the Perrine Bridge lookout.  This is the bridge that you drive over to get into and out of Twin Falls. 

The view was incredible.

These three little birds were keeping an eye on us as we took pictures.

I'm not a golfer, but can you imagine a cooler place to hit a few?

Mom and I had a great trip.  We thoroughly enjoyed each other's company, and we're blessed to be able to do this a couple of times a year.  It was so nice to come home to my little family...it's nice for them to miss me every so often.  :)
