The Largest Show on Earth

This has got to be the largest collection of baby/kid stuff of anywhere in the world! Okay so that is a little bit stretched...but at the State Fairgrounds in NC each July and January they have a garage sale for baby/kid stuff. One can find ANYTHING you might need for kids. There are ROWS and ROWS or clothes...ROWS and ROWS of toys...cribs, carseats, books, DVD's, bookbags, furniture...EVERYTHING. Justin and I went when I was preg. and got a few things then...But my friend Robin and I decided to try it out again now that we have little ones that are constantly growing! It opened at 9am and there was a LONG line already when Robin got there at 8:45. People pulled in their shopping bags, carried totes, or wagons, just to have a place to set their stuff in! It was insane. We both talked and said that with the excitment in the air, we were jittery! :) It was fun. We only had to wait in line to check out for 20 minutes, but they say that one can wait up to 2 hours to check out. Whew... We got some CUTE clothes, shoes and a few toys. Katie did a great job! She quacked like a duck most of the time and ate raisins. :) Even though she might have had more fun at home, she was a trooper. And for a treat, Katie and I went to Whole Foods afterwards and had lunch...yum!
So if any of you like good deals and to shop...come on down! We will be going back in January!
