I just got back from an awesome weekend in Canton! I went with my friends Sarah, Cami & Amy. Cami's parents have a time share cabin just outside of Tyler (which is about 45 minutes from Canton) that they graciously let us use. Cami, Amy & I left about 3:00 on Friday and headed to Fort Worth to pick up Sarah from where she works. After coming back to the house twice (once for my money that I left and the second time for my tennis shoes) and waving at the same neighbors who were standing in their driveway watching us pass by multiple times, we were on our way! We picked up Sarah and decided to eat at one of our favorite places...P.F. Changs - YUM! We had great discussion over dinner and really enjoyed each others' company. We headed on to the cabin (stopping at Dairy Queen on the way where I looked at my lap the whole time to avoid ordering their dairy goodness) and finally got there about 11:00. We went in, took a look around and proceeded to head out to the car to unload our bags and as we were walking down the stairs to the cabin, I squealed "SKUNK!" Yes, there was a skunk about 20 feet outside our door! All I had was a sad little flashlight about 3 inches long that really only works in "close up" situations, so here we are, 4 girls squished up against a window, watching a skunk stroll around aimlessly outside. It finally headed off into the trees and we made a run for our pajamas & toothbrushes.
The next morning we got up early and spent about 6 hours shopping Canton. We found almost everything we came for and a few more fun things! Here is a picture of my favorite purchase of the day (my McCain/Palin T-shirt) and some other fun things:

Sarah in a Hillary mask at Wal-Mart...VERY creepy and for so many reasons!
Eating at Mercado's
After shopping, we had another great girls night of food, chatter & fun. We ate at an awesome restaurant called Mercado's - the best tamales I have EVER had...Yum! We slept in Sunday morning and after Cami cooked us breakfast (thank you, Cami!), we headed back to our families. I was so glad to see my boys, but the weekend was a much needed break. My batteries are recharged and I'm so thankful for sweet friends!

I had so much fun! I think the eating and talking was my favorite part though, naturally! :)
I second that Amy!! I loved it! Mercado's ROCKED!! (And the late night Walmart stop!)
I am so glad to see Amy has connected with you guys. I thought she was so sweet when she and her husband first came. I was sad to leave before we got to know them.
